Yeah, really nice, please relax Gerard. Sorry for the curtness, but this isn't exactly the first time this argument has come up in the last 5 years and some people get tired of beating it to death. We have maintained a steady position that our willingness to break API on major version releases allows for more innovative work and less complex development of new features. It constitutes is one of our competitive advantages over other CMS solutions and allows us to focus our development efforts forward not backward. We fully understand the costs of following such a model and understand if it isnt something youre interested in, but nobody pulled the rug out from under you here. This is how its been and how it will be. It is a big reason that a lot of us are on this project instead of others whether we know it or not. We understand that this may scare off some enterprise customers seeking stability. We dont have stability yet and might not for along time. Your efforts and the efforts of everyone postulating the best way to release D7 would be best applied like they usually are in assistance upgrading the modules you care about :). Good luck. -mf
