I doubt we must support all useful Squid 2.6 configuration directives in Squid 3.0. Would it be nice? Certainly! Is it an absolute requirement for a stable Squid 3.0 release? I do not think so. We should apply every small, clear, tested pending patch to Squid3. Other optional features can wait for Squid 3.1. IMO, if we can support enough directives to accommodate 51% of current Squid2 users, that is enough. We would not be able to fix bugs fast enough if we accommodate 90% anyway! Alex.
