Can wie stop using this argument pls? We are talking about something deprecated since 10 years, about the 1st major release in a decade, something we will use for the next 12-14 years. 5.x will be maintained as well for the next 3 years (plus distros LTS). We do not break BC since quite some time too in minor releases. Cheers, Pierre
