I am strongly opposed to reusing the apr_time_t identifier. In my mind, we should do the two things separately: 1) create and start using binary usecs, and 2) decide* how to deprecate the apr_time_t interface. *This is all a matter of how nice we want to be. I'm leaning toward keeping the apr_time_t interface for awhile. Another good option might be to cause some compile-time breakage that makes the change obvious. -aaron
