Ack. If a library becomes incompatible one should change the name or namespace or something. Besides the pure compatibility issue "traditionally" we also had a distribution problem in PHP - if a module requires a generic library either the library had to be bundled or the user had to be sent for a hunt and manually do it, which became complicated if there are further dependencies and different libraries have the same dependencies ... for that Composer <http://getcomposer.org/> is a quite good solution which does a great job in handling projects and its dependencies. johannes
