We saw this when we changed some of the S methods to return Box[String] rather than String. There were hundreds of subtle errors. I'm happy to deprecate now and have goodNow (returns JodaTime) and evilNow (returns java.util.Date), but I am 100% against changing a return signature. I am sorry that my position is making folks unhappy, especially Derek who works hard and does a great job.
