tell people: "Well, this patch does only work with the CVS version." Beginners might not even know what version they run. I think, the disadvantages of changing the core outweight the gain here. But maybe someone else has another opinion?

The CVS version was always meant as a developers version only. I think that a good way of beeing able to figure out the advantages and disadvantages is having them implemented. I never ever told someone in class to use the CVS version. I always point them to Millers version.

i changed the code of the value object ... i could:

• add it to devel_0_37
• add it to devel_0_37, but enable it only with the configure script and post a warning when creating an object (i'd prefer that)
• add it as external to the cvs...

i'd like to hear, what other people would prefer ...

cheers ... tim
