I wanted the question to be more of the form "is compatibility between minor releases more important to you than client/server secure-by-default functionality?" -- with the suspicion that an embedded user doesn't really care about client/server security and thus would opt for compatibility. But even client/server users may care more about compatibility than increased security. Just to help us inform our decision here.

This is assuming, if I understand things right, that the incompatibility arises because we're improving authentication between the network client and the server, with this security enabled by default.

Nice one :)

I thought I saw a comment re asking the user list, but I can't
remember seeing one. Did I invent/miss something?

Hi Myrna,

David made that suggestion. Dan noted that our conventions don't give the user list a decisive say here. I'm a little unclear about what question to pose. Perhaps one of these:

1) Would calling this release 11.0 make it less likely that you would be blindsided by these incomatibilities?

2) Would calling this release 11.0 make it less likely that you would install this release?

Regards,
-Rick
