I'm fine either way.
Personally I don't object the change either, though I agree with Holger's thoughts on doing something like this and being conservative often pays off, but sure it is more annoying. My main objection was purely on the fact that we basically disobey the deprecation policy right after introducing it by doing this. If we do go with Ronny's approach of just bumping the version number when breaking backwards compat (which is what setuptools and pip and the like do afaik) then we really should update that policy to reflect so. I just thought the reason the policy was introduced was because of user feedback on our earlier behaviour where we usually randomly justified breakages because it made development more convenient. _______________________________________________ pytest-dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pytest-dev
