Replying to [comment:9 mhansen]:
> The pickle jar contains old pickles of objects that we want to ensure
work in the future. For example, if you made the changes
at [http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/9907 9907] as the are, then
possibly many pickles out in the wild would break. Instead of trying to
update the pickle jar, the appropriate thing to do would be to add the
following to sage/plot/misc.py
>
> {{{
> #For backward compatibility -- see #9907.
> from sage.misc.decorators import options, suboptions, rename_keyword
>
> }}}
> That way, the old pickles will still work as they will still be able to
find the decorators in sage.plot.misc.
Ok, thanks -- I will update the patch for #9907. I was actually wondering
a bit about backward compatibility, so good to know this is the system.
Does the above fix then have a one-year lifetime like for keyword-
deprecation? If so, should it be flagged somehow (e.g. with the comment
containing the term "backward compatibility") so it can be found and
removed one year from now?
