No, I'm extrapolating from known data points, and concluding that backwards compatibility is not a major issue here. Please give me more data, especially if it contradicts my conclusion. Are you assuming that people who upgrade are not going to read the release notes?

Time, huh? There's the rub. Quick is quick, and if you looked at the patch you'd see how dirty it isn't. It's a few lines in a single method, ripe and plump and begging to be extracted later and moved into the UI, which is even something I offered to do (and sooner than a few months)!
