I am not, of course, commenting on Greylock here, but I'd like to know why
you think we have a problem w/ backward compatability? Your example,
locking, isn't a good one. Yes, we enhanced CFLOCK in CF4.5, but we
certainly did not break CFLOCK code for CF4.01 machines. My web site used
CFLOCK on CF4.01 and still does under 4.5, I haven't had a chance yet to
change the locks to SCOPE locks, but it works fine.
I'd like to hear some concrete examples of things you had that broken when
you moved from 4.01 to 4.5.
Now, I'm not saying 4.5 was perfect, but a bug is a different thing then a
backwards compatability issue.
