Interesting - this is something i've not actually thought about: If we were to compile a list of all the breaking changes in 1.1, perhaps that would give some focus to this discussion... as josh points out, there are most likely quite a few now and 1.0 -> 1.1 is a fairly short jump.
Loc and LocParam Actor -> LiftActor Full,Box etc have moved packages JSON parsing alterations and changes in JsExp Im probably missing a number of others, but we are talking about some fairly significant breaks here, right?
