The changes look innocuous enough. I'd prefer not to carry this for two months though. afacit all the operations which got changed were actually renamed, so any unconverted code will reliably fail to compile, yes? (If not, can we find a way to do this?). This means that a) if I _were_ to carry if for two months, any new code which gets added using the old operations will get reliably detected and b) there's not really much benefit in me carrying it all for two months. > Not sure how to really do this > better to reduce merge difficulties.
