As one who builds systems out of software like Parrot
what really matters to me is
"How badly will things that depend on Parrot break if I drop 2.0 in for 1.0?"
Experience suggests three different answers are common:
a) nothing should break
b) nothing should break, but 2.0 goes beyond 1.0 so you cannot down grade
c) things will break, things that depend on Parrot require rework
Is there an easy programatic way to extract this information when
comparing two Parrot releases?
