Sorry, I usually remove the non relevant part of a message in a reply to keep replies short, and put ... in the place I did remove.

Who is in charge for the changes? Asking a single person to do that would mean he has to understand more or less the whole code base. Putting the burden on each module mantainer is a secure recipe for not getting things done I fear, thought. Maybe adding a blocker issue on the modules to update to the new API could be a way? (and who's gonna open 50 issues against all modules?) Cheers Andrea ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
