Personally, I'd like to see both of these code lines to have a compatibility releases to address 0.22/0.23 issues. Also, I'd be totally happy with 0.9 NOT addressing this issues if there's 0.10 planned soon enough. As for 0.8 I really, really, really would like to see a compatibility release. >From the Bigtop side, I can help with build and testing, but I guess we need somebody from the Pig community to chime in on how feasible 0.8.2 will be. Thanks, Roman.
