But if we keep supporting for SE 1.2 we are stuck to stone age.
Is it fair to penalize ISE users who want to use new ECMA Eiffel
extensions because SE 1.2 has not been maintained for 2 years?
So what do we do? I would say that people who wants to use an
old version of Eiffel (e.g. SE 1.2) have to use old versions of
libraries (e.g. Gobo 3.6).
