IMHO 	KEEP KEEP KEEP

Please don't punish us for keeping our systems up to date. The time to
take a poll would have been before these changes were put in. Now that
they have been commited stick by your improvements.

Is there no way to backout/patch these changes or "freeze/snapshot" for
those user's who must remain backward compatible? 

That being said, if these changes will cause anyone undue hardship AND
they aren't coming in again real soon back them out. But please please
please provide us with a clear consise document to help us roll our
systems back.


Jim
