I'm not worried about myself - I can deploy the correct
version of my script for the system I am putting it on.

But that approach breaks down when there is more than
one programmer.  Suppose I need some package of Oleg's,
and I have it as an .ijp file.  Now, I can't move to
602 until I get an updated version of his package.
The more popular J is, the worse the problem is.

This problem is always with us when there are incompatible
changes.  I'm just saying that if 1!:45 could be
quietly supported, the problem would disappear, and
wouldn't that be nice?
