"runs" or "will not run"? because if it runs, it is not a problem no? b) means we accept that we can never improve anything for real. > > There will be more changes coming... e.g. imagine we have a Vector Graphics > Canvas > as some point next year... what will we do? use it or not use it to stay > compatible? > In any case, I am in favor to go ahead and change. Moreover, I am not sure it is a big deal here, since it will not impact application code. It will be probably different for the new Vector Graphics Canvas.
