Yes.
Good point about the 2.3 release date. I had been thinking 2.2 (latest version
of dropped support) date but of course that was all people had all the way
until 2.3 was released. Let's keep the savegame.c around for now. We can drop
it any time we want, but getting it back once removed is not so easy.
At some point we decided that at *minimum* we should support savegames from
previous-1 version (3.0 should support 2.6 and 2.5). Otherwise people need to
convert their savegames in steps.
You're more optimistic than I am about the 3.0 schedule. I'd expect 1.5-2
years in TRUNK + 1.5-2 years in stable branch -> 3-4 years before the release.
