Robert Muir commented on LUCENE-2396:
-------------------------------------
bq. There has been an implicit bw compat policy,
Part of the point of this patch for me was two things:
# what would the code look like if we delete the back compat cruft?
# why do i constantly hear different ideas about what contrib/analyzer's back
compat and what it should be? I want it defined!
At first I said, this is a stupid idea, but I am gonna delete all the backwards
cruft from a few Analyzers and just give it a try... its amazing how much
easier it is to see what is going on when you delete the 1.8MB of backwards
crap... a lot of it i put a lot of effort myself into.
So I think we should instead use real-versions for contrib/analyzers. You can
be damn sure if you stick with lucene-analyzers-3.0.jar that your stemmer isn't
going to change behavior... no matter how much backwards stuff we try to add,
this is easiest and safest on everyone.
