 I have added a new section to the Wiki main page, called "Plans",
with a
 link to a new sub-page called "Legacy clean-ups".
 In that new page I have started to describe changes that are on the
 wish-list but have been postponed as these would cause saved game
 compatibility problems.
 The goal is to have a to-do list handy whenever we decide to build a
new
 version that is no longer compatible.

 See also my separate mail in response to John David Galt.
