If you decide not to fix the 4.x branch then we'd minimally need an easily accessible document describing the known problems and work-arounds IMHO.
As I tried to do that in our large code base, I would say that's totally not possible to do. There is no way you know you're doing someting wrong, as there are no warnings and go through 200k+ lines of code without missing an instance is impossible.
That's a misunderstanding then. I was meaning work-arounds on the user side like avoiding certain constructs.

Yes, that's what Derick and I are talking about too. What Derick is saying is that finding the problematic pieces of code can be a long, agonizing process. Then again, a lot of bugs fall in the same category... Zeev
