So.. The changes I am proposing is all about simplification sacrificing
backward compatibility.  This might affect people who are using MINA 2
M1 or trunk.  We had to think about all these issues before recommending
people to use 2 M1 and placing the download links in the very top of the
download page.  (we could move the links to the unstable releases section.)
The problem is that we already have people who are using MINA 2. Now, the question is : should we release it and go for a MINA 3 with a completely new API, or should we change MINA 2 API now before we release it as a RC...

That's not a simple question.

My personnal choice would be to do it now, before MINA is widely used. We never said that MINA 2 API was stable. As soon as we deliver the first RC, we are done.

Another option (and may be better) would be to deprecate dead API (but that means we still have to guarantee some compatibility... No fun at all !)

wdyt ?
