If we all really believed the constructor change was for the better, we wouldn't have had this discussion. So it is not just the fact that we have to maintain two branches, but also that we (or at least a sizable part of the team) don't believe the constructor change was for the better. With such controversy, it is probably better to stay on the current course.
Don't worry, we're zealots and we'll go for what we believe is the best solution at any time, even if that means more work :) Eelco On 3/7/07, Chris Colman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I haven't looked into great detail about the constructor changes in 2.0 > but if 2.0 is more elegant or has a better architecture I'm all for the > way it does things.
