Unless we're deliberately dropping the "lyric ties" feature, then that's not an acceptable alternative. The same applies to any other piece of notation -- if we have not officially dropped support for X, then we should *never* tell people "if you really want to do X, then stick with 2.12". If this means that you need to re-evaluate a bunch of bug reports and add a dozen Critical issues, then so be it. > However, I do believe we shouldn't consign it to the > heap of priority-high issues that'll never get looked at. The main reason why priority-high issues don't tend to get looked at is that we've had even more important issues to deal with (i.e. Critical ones). (I'm not conviced that some issues are truly high-priority -- I mean, is 1502 "accents in PDF headers" really a High-priority issue? In comparison to some of the stuff on medium or even low-priority?) Once we've had some time without Critical issues or masses of existing patches to review, people will continue working on any High-priority issues that appeal to them. I mean, Mike and Han-Wen have been doing great work on issue 37 !
