I would be happy to see it backported to 3.0. It does not affect runtime code and does not affect old configs, so it should be safe. Eventually, things like that would go into the next minor release (i.e., v3.1 in this case). Currently we have too many disruptive features going into minor releases and cannot release them often enough for the "keep the subreleases free of new features" scheme to work well. > what do you think of habitually considering back-porting where > possible, the features added to 3.1 that are actually forward-ports from > 2.x? Sounds like a good idea to me, _considering_ being the operative word. We do not have a list of 1000 features to go through, so it does not have to be rigid and formal. We can decide on a case-by-case basis. Alex.
