I still don't see why old config files stop working. I can still configure Log4j using log4j.properties even though there are newer/better config file formats. Config files for production sites are tricky, and testing them is very painstaking. The pain factor for people that manage many sites is quite high.

I must admit that there are some "non-compatible" changes in the config, AND the Api (in particular ejb syntax). But from my point of view, this comes because Caucho provide tools really efficients before they are completely defined by the community. There is good and bad in everything. I never found difficult to upgrade, except that it costs... for all the changes we have to make, and the time to find the new syntax. This process have been difficult for me because it was at a time where the docs were in unstable state. For instance there was a clickable index of config tags in 3.0 documentation, that disappeared for months (no more clickable). Now it's back, and it seems that the new 3.2 doc is really good.
