Same here. I've been using tg1 for 3 years and have not changed the
app in a substantial way, the various versions of tg1 all the way till
1.1 are more or less backward compatible. I'm still using Kid and
sqlobject. This is a great thing and I'd like to thank you guys for
this commitment to tg1.

Absolutely. My (partial) list of things that would need adaptation:
Kid, sqlobject, identity, scheduler, error handlers. Sometimes people
made it appear (also on this list) that the tg1 -> tg2 transition is
really easy, but it's not.

Fully agree.

That would be really great!

Again, I fully agree.
