I wish this was the reason why points are not integrated already but to me the problem is also the fact that old features never go away, which makes new features harder to integrate than they should. > We have many users that depend on us, > and we've already made it hard enough for people to move, and too many > people are stuck back on v4.x. > I agree that there are times when we could have provided a better story around backward compatibility with little effort. But it is a general issue that users want innovation and backward compatibility, which are conflicting requirements. If we decide to never remove the old features then we will be stuck at some point. I am concerned we are slowly moving towards that direction. We do not need to remove them now, but we should at least schedule the removal of some of them for 8.0.
