It would be safer and more correct so +1 if it doesn't mean too many patches. If keeping a strict ABI compatibility is too hard and the removed symbols are obviously just internal details, I think we should we should be allowed to cheat a bit for -stable. Of course there's always a risk that some other port uses those internal details. -- jca | PGP : 0x1524E7EE / 5135 92C1 AD36 5293 2BDF DDCC 0DFA 74AE 1524 E7EE
