^ The butterfly  effect? Let me be a bit of a devil's advocate...

I think you'd agree that different code, no matter how apparently
trivially different, executes differently. The electronically different
results are easily seen with the proper gear. Hell, the
3-letter-agencies can tell exactly what you're doing by the radiated
energy from your executing code. From quite far away. So let's not say
our audiophile listening rooms or electronics are immune. Whatever this
small change in code is, the way the electronics process it could result
in some unexpected audible sonic difference.

It is very difficult to believe that code that's *logically* identical
results in a different sound. That is why all new revision software that
only had *minor* changes made to it always works perfectly, and never
creates new problems with things that worked perfectly before. :)

>From a practical perspective as a developer, if it's not a lot of
trouble, just let people have access to the old versions until they
prove to themselves they're not better. If they like the old one, no
harm. Don't actually go back to the older version for development.
