It will clearly not be done before the release. But we have all the material in place for a later backport so I'm not worried. And we already have some options which silently ignore some old arguments of the past (eg: check-post for balance url-param comes to mind). So we could have the option mandatory at the beginning and ignored later. > Nenad, what's your opinion on this ? Willy
