Hi Jon,
I think that people should have to flip a switch to get the new
behavior. Avoids the "breaking things" surprises.
How about the opposite of Python's `from future import ...'? Have a
~/.mh_profile entry like `old-fogey' or `stuck-in-1989' as a global
decision maker when code changes to support both old and new ways.
Wouldn't help when the code to support `old' is being discarded because
keeping both isn't practical, but for the smaller choices of defaults,
etc., you could set the flag once and then forget about it?
Cheers, Ralph.
That would be fine. In this case, the change won't affect me. But, if
someone has a pile of mhn that they depend on it would be nice to give
them some time to convert instead of just creating an emergency for them.
Jon
