I believe savvy users will accept incompatibilities between major numbers. 0, 1, and 2 imply different foundations. 1.16 and 1.18 imply additional features, not the removal of them. If 1.18 cannot help 1.16 upgrade to 1.18, we offer ways to have co-installs of both. Alternatively, if this is just about the transition about cli to api, we write a make this clear in the known issues, explain how we think small organisations and large enterprises will accomplish the upgrade. We will also accept that many will refuse to upgrade because the barrier is too high, just as users have done with pyjuju, Honestly. as much as I want to see 1.18 this month, I don't think it can happen this year. If we make upgrades hard, we will stop work on features after the 1.18 release to address the concerns of organisations that cannot complete upgrades. -- Curtis Hovey Canonical Cloud Development and Operations http://launchpad.net/~sinzui -- Curtis Hovey Canonical Cloud Development and Operations http://launchpad.net/~sinzui -- Juju-dev mailing list Juju-dev@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/juju-dev
