Exactly.  And we deal with it the way Bill described.  We build dom4j
HEAD separately from the branch that most projects depend on, we've

I fully agree that sometimes there may be a good reason to break
backwards compatibility.  And Gump should certainly be able to deal
with it (and in most cases it is).
