It is also more likely that the plugin will miss those features that the newer plugins need. The whole issue is that the compatibility plugin allows for backporting stuff to older squirrelmail versions (e.g. in stable), so having an old compatibility plugin doesn't really help there I'm afraid. If we include the compatibility plugin but users need a newer compatibility plugin version for using their plugin, I can foresee only confusion... but first let's wait what upstream decides, after that we can see whether to follow. BTW, maybe a compromise would be to change SquirrelMail such that patching the source is no longer required for the compatibility plugin to be installed? Thijs
