It does not follow that if "real mathematicians" do not use spreadsheets, that making breaking changes does not have consequences. That logic is nonsensical.
I said that the consequences would be very limited. And that using "mathematicians using spreadsheets" point is almost irrelevant. Some users may face the 0^0 situation, of course.
And again, it is mistaken to assume that the person who suffers because of a newly introduced error is the person who can correct the error. Just as with extensions, the person who designs a sheet and the person who uses the sheet might be different people.
Again, how many will be affected by such a sheet using this kind of calculation? But that's a good point for the extensions topic.
Don't put words in my mouth. I'm not angry. And when did I ever say I was happy about breaking extension compatibility? Quite the opposite. I've called for all breaking changes to be proposed and reviewed on the dev list.
OK, wrong wording. But I feel that you were not that dynamic about the extension issue compared to your posts in this calculation problem. Of course, no plain text to quote but it's your activity that makes me think this. Hagar
