Me too. Let's make it expicit though.

I wonder if reaching a consensus now on completely breaking backwards
compatibility will impact adoption of T4. Of course the discussion has
started and you can't stop it now.

 On a personal note I know that I'm not going to kill myself on a
Spindle impl for T4 if I have to throw it all out for T5. And if it's
done right T5 is much more attractive to me than T4. On another note,
I know that the company I work for will never migrate to T4 if the
whole shootin match will change in T5. Everybody know that support for
old versions quickly fades when a new version comes out.

Perhaps any planning for migration strategies for 'T5' should include
migration from T3 to T5.
