I don't think there is any need to worry about "backwards compatibility" or supporting existing users in this case. Remember, this is a failed incubation project. That means that the code has *never* had an official release; it is just "sandbox" code. So there should be very few users of this code out there. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
