Thanks for the notes -- I'l incorporate them into the dev guide.
I definitely do not want to abandon the 91 branch. I expect this branch to
last a while, perhaps a year. the 98.4 branch is intended to be short
lived, order of a week or two, just to fix critical bugs for this release.
Or better yet, we keep it alive until the next point release, then kill it
and make a new release branch. That way if we ever need to fix a critical
bug in the latest release, we can go to the branch w/o having all the
testing required on the head. Since the major incompatibility was between
91 and 98, I anticipate that there are some users with a lot of code (eg an
axes3d dependency) where moving may never be feasible.
