I don't think he was trolling. It was a classic-model rant: "I upgraded my dependency to a newer version and all my stuff broke". Commonly provokes anger, largely because many such upgrades do NOT break stuff (eg if I were to switch from gcc 4.5 to gcc 4.7 right now, I doubt anything would break, and my code would be able to use the new iterator syntax in c++11 - pity 4.7 isn't packaged for Debian Squeeze). The OP upgraded across an openly-non-backward-compatible boundary, and got angry over one particular aspect of backward compat that wasn't there.
