AFAICT, the behavior of the DefaultVariableManager that I mentioned in my response to the previous release vote (breaking variable names that start with "jspwiki") has not been changed. I'm aware that it is too late now, and that I don't really have a vote anyway, so I'd just like to register my displeasure that JSPWiki, which has a pretty good history of backwards compatibility, breaks it so cavalierly in a dot-dot release of a major version that is many years old. For 3.0, that's a reasonable decision, but for 2.12 it's rather questionable, IMO.
