I don't know since when you are around in D-land, but I'm here 
since pre-1.0. Not ad hominem, but believe me, I think it's 
difficult to understand the immane efforts to convince the 
leadership that breakage for a solid reason is not an evil thing.

The pendulum is waving between "breakage is not even taken in 
account" to "let's introduce more ways to have MORE breakage 
opportunity in the future".

Maybe it's not a "bit issue" for someone, Walter included, but 
that's non sense, plain and simple.

Until I will see a shift from 'virtual by default' to 'final by 
default' mentality, aka let's try to reduce FUTURE opportunity 
for breakage, I will push toward that direction.
