And which? Things don't work in the worst case either way and need to
be adopted. Why exactly is getting rid of build support by ANT
acceptable for users relying on that, but applying LOGCXX-319 might(!)
not be?

If I remember correctly, the concrete changes could even be adopted
using automatic search&replace.

And a fair number of users applied either the available patches
already since the last release or simply work with master already
anyway. I can't remember anyone complaining about the changes
introcuded by that concrete issue in the last years as well.

In my opinion this is an unnecessary meta-discussion until a concrete
problem has been described introduced by LOGCXX-319 or other changes.
So at least I won't reconsider each and every change since the last
release.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen,
