It isn't any different than when HyperCard made the change. Once 
converted, a stack in HC 2.0 format would not open in HC 1.0. The 
community survived. We'll need the same period of adjustment for this 
change in Revolution.

Chipp's plugin will allow you to distribute stacks that open in either 
version, so if your contributions are for the general public, you can 
use the plugin before releasing the stack.
