Leaving > it in a known-bad state sends a message tinged w/ coercion -- Not Cool. There has been talk of making the next version the first release of the next major version. If the next version was the major version it would likely mean removing deprecations. _That_ is the scenario I am concerned about, not lording it over you to update your programs. A fix that never gets released isn't a fix. -- Ian Price -- shift-reset.com "Programming is like pinball. The reward for doing it well is the opportunity to do it again" - from "The Wizardy Compiled"
