I think there is a fairly safe middle ground between "conservatism" (a la Tcl/Tk-core changes) and the way you do thinks. I am all in favour of trying out things, even if they break something. But then, if too much breaks, something has to be done about it. > I will also not revert all such changes immidiatly without exploring > the possibilities of fixing the discovered problems first. Trying to fix the discovered problem is certainly a valid option, but you are not too eager to do so if that means "not so nice/modern/whatever" code. As an example I'd like to point out the problem of too much dependencies. Changing a few enums to ints or anything else forward-declarable would help much but this has not be done.
