Comment(by jkeenan):
Replying to [ticket:469 allison]:
> Just before the release, rurban pointed out that
tools/dev/opsrenumber.pl had a feature to completely change its
functionality when the major version changes to "1". The problem being
that this functionality is entirely unused so far, poorly tested, and not
actually what we want. I changed it in r37525 so it has no special
behavior for different version numbers.

> 4 tests in t/tools/ops2pm/05-renum_op_map_file.t fail as a result, so
I'm marking them as TODO. These tests need to be updated to reflect our
expectations for op renumbering in 1.0 and beyond.
''tools/dev/opsrenumber.pl'' started out its life as a Python program.
Coke filed [http://rt.perl.org/rt3/Ticket/Display.html?id=53976 RT 53976]
nearly a 1 year ago to have it rewritten in Perl 5, which I did . Said
rewrite is what is being tested in
''t/tools/ops2pm/05-renum_op_map_file.t''. But I reached the limits of my
understanding of the issues involved and, IIRC, Coke didn't consider that
ticket closable. So it was assigned to Nobody.
Here is a far-from-exhaustive list of questions that arise at this time:
1. Where do we document what 'our expectations for ops renumbering for
1.0 and beyond' currently are?
2. If 1.0 should still be considered the major turning point, is it safe
to ditch the code that was designed to handle pre-1.0?
Thank you very much.[[BR]]
