0.3 was a disaster, though perhaps less so than 0.4 has been. It functioned,
for some definition of "functioned", but not without setting HTLs to 100 for
all but the most popular materials. Breaking backwards compatibility wasn't
just a necessity of further development, but was also a good idea so that 0.3
nodes wouldn't pollute the 0.4 network. Up till now, 0.4 has had enough
problems without having to drag 0.3 into it.
As bugs get squashed, there should be a point that 0.4 finally stablizes and
the Chineese can safely use it (if I remeber Ian's message, their only issue
with 0.4 was that it hadn't stablizied yet). Once we hit that point, there
will be no need for a "bridge" between the networks, and there are enough
problems now to work on that are of more pressing concern.
