DM Smith commented on LUCENE-2396:
----------------------------------
Humor me. I think I'm not seeing the forest for the trees.
Suppose an app is using Lucene at 3.0 and that this patch has been applied to
trunk and only affects contrib/analyzers (I assume as I did not look at the
patch;)
Then 3.1 is released. How does the user upgrade to 3.1? Let me see if I get
this right. Since Version has been ripped out their code won't compile? Easy
enough, change to a comparable constructor.
bq. No, fixing core sorta assumes that 3.1 is a major release.
That's what I was thinking. So it shouldn't be 3.1 but rather 4.0? (And even
w/o refactoring isn't flex big enough to warrant 4.0?)
But still isn't some sort of bridge release needed to get the user to the new
paradigm?
Assume they are only using lucene-core-3.0.jar and not
lucene-analyzers-3.0.jar. In 3.1 they need both jars. But you can't mix 3.0 and
3.1 combinations of the two jars at all. After 3.1 it is possible to mix and
match.

> Contrib/analyzers has no backwards-compatibility policy, so let's remove
