sorry, mistyped. My vote goes to 'no old api in v10'

Rationale:

* lighter and cleaner code base -> less bugs, easier for newcomers to
get on board
* no more funky @api.v7 decorator and related unexpected behaviors
* no more funky @api.returns decorator and related unexpected behaviors
* no more painful stepping in the wrapper layers in pdb
* no more pain when overloading a computed field from an addon using the
v7 api
* no more pain when extending an onchange method defined using the v7 api
* get back the ability to use profiling tools to analyze performance

Plus, the OCA has already done a huge effort in porting to the new API
in v8 (and debugged a lot of nasty issues on our way)
