Olivier and others, I am guessing you have not tested the trunk and the
changes for bz 7826 as backwards compatibility was handled as far as I
know. There is no need to spread fear, uncertainty and doubt. We went
to trouble to make rules and configuration lines work with aliases and
feature checks so nothing breaks because of this. Further, the project
is committed to the backwards compatibility for at least 1 year after
4.0.0 is released AND not until 4.1.0 is released.
Regards,
KAM
