Oh drat!

I just posted a half-written response and did not mean to. Please just ignore it. I want to talk with Stephen offline before burdening the list with more of this exchange.

A thousand apollogies.

Is it ok with folks to be required to replace essentially all of the current software, administration and user deployment?

That's three things.

right. bigger impact. that was my point. ensuring upward compatibility for an installed base can get messy.

Nope. I meant that you conflated the three things, thus allowing a
careless reader to get confused and end up believing that a change
affecting one must affect all three.

The question was intended to ask about a limit of impact. Affecting all 3 would be the upper limit. Complete change. I was not trying to do a detailed questionnaire, asking about each increment of change that would be acceptable.


I think its worth avoiding such
potential confusion,

ahh, well. avoiding confusion is almost always useful...
