We should definitely not introduce ASM 7 code into our asm6 module. Another topic is we've been on ASM 6 for 2 years. Should we change the XBean major version to 5 when we switch to ASM 7? That would give us the option to keep pushing out XBean 4.x releases with further ASM 6 updates for those who can't/won't upgrade yet or also have stable branches to maintain. If if we don't change the major version and any critical bugs or security vulnerabilities hit XBean 4.10, we'd have to do a 4.10.1. If that happened a few times we'd find ourselves with 4.10.2, 4.10.3 and effectively maintaining a de facto branch, just after the fact and in a very awkward way. -David
