Hi Tyler, Sorry to hear that there might be a problem here. It's been a pet peeve of mine that we seem to be a little too eager to break backwards compatibility in places where it may not be necessary. That said, let's try to avoid a meta-process discussion before we collectively understand the example you are bringing up, and focus on the JobQueue. As near as I can tell from a quick skim of the changeset you're referencing, Aaron's changes here are purely additive. Am I reading this wrong? Is there some other changeset that changes/removes existing interfaces that you meant to reference instead?
