In particular, if you're a consumer of tcsh, a new version could break existing scripts, or alternatively, make them work better(/with less hacks). - MFCing changes like this would be incredibly helpful. In theory, new versions should result in a combination of bugfixes to existing features and enhancements. - It makes it easier to deal with toolchain upgrades. - In theory, if the version of the newer forked/tip branch is equivalent to the older forked branch, it's easier to assume that the behavior on the two branches is equivalent. Personally, I don't care too much about *csh, but I know people that do, and I work for a company that kind of does, because it affects users logging into our appliances. Thanks! -Ngie
