Except that is what Ben came here to do. To get input from and pay
attention to us, the overwhelming majority of which so far has been
supportive even when critical of the possible outcome. Alarmist language
does everything but add to the discussion. What is a "little longer" in
your opinion? 1 year? 5 years? I would hate for runrev to spend several
months to make something backwards compatible for a short time. Along with
this time spent, I would imagine it would further complicate the code base
in non-trivial ways.
