Hi Fred Jan,Please keep doing what you're doing. Hi anyone encouraging backward breakage,Please make a collection of as many patches as possible, from as many public sources as possible. Then mine this data to get a sense of what percentage of patches would be affected by changing a Cyclone class' behavior.
Then let's continue with conversation. If no one is willing to do this, it's a tacit acknowledgement that Fred Jan is taking the only sensible approach to maintaining Cyclone.
