What we do is experiment with new models and when these become mature and clearly better, we deprecated the old ones and encourage people to use the new ones in new code. That can take years. Often the old model remains as a good answer for certain problems. An example would be NULL security vs. CURVE security, or zhash vs. zhashx in CZMQ. -Pieter _______________________________________________ zeromq-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.zeromq.org/mailman/listinfo/zeromq-dev
