Linking against a specific backend, loading a specific backend from
the frontend directly, etc.

And what's the point in having versionned backends if you discard
the version?

Make the dll backend load v2 and v1 backends if you want. You also
have to handle duplicates, whether you use versioning or not.

Really, back out the "warming up" change and do it the proper way
instead of breaking everything and making things even more complicated
for no good reason. It seems you haven't discovered half of the issues
yet, which is very worrying from where I stand.

The cost of this transition is way higher than the cost of doing the
changes in the proper way, and if you look at what you gain ... nothing.

JB.
