Ian, any modifications would be acceptable if they were minimally documented. Recent changes to FEC and mainport were hardly documented at all, causing quite a lot of confusion. Most of the people don't read the source code and have no idea what to change in freenet.conf to preserve the previous functionality of the node. What I would suggest is a note to freenet-announce and/or freenet-support explainig what has changed in latest build and what needs to be adjusted in configuration. If you don't have time to comment on every major change, please do at least comment on incompatible changes. -- Pawe?
