Namely, don't break everything that's gone before. Specifically, a big -1 on forcing substantial rewrites of existing applications. Or in other words, the API must continue to work (with at most trivial breakages). Of course, deprecating things is fine. And where parts of the existing API do not fit well, they might be moved outwards from the core to a compatibility layer - provided that's going to be maintainable. The breakage between 1.x and 2.0 was far too much. If we do it again, the world will rightly conclude that Apache is not a solution fit for the long term. -- Nick Kew Application Development with Apache - the Apache Modules Book http://www.apachetutor.org/
