Andreas proposed to remove the source extension, and there was not much

I agree to that (in trunk) - what do the others think?

Do we want to require a specific announcement mail before changes
which require adapting existing content or code, with a certain
period of delay so that others can state their objections?

The real problem is another.
HEAD is so different from (and better than) 1.2x that many people have begun using it in production. This make the user wish that /trunk be put in a 'feature freeze' mode, which is incompatible with development.

The solution is: release often. Better to freeze a version not perfect than keeping the HEAD codebase a moving target which users won't be able to build upon. Once you release every, say, 6 months, you'll be free to make backward incompatible changes in trunk.
