It was discussed on -dev in at least a couple threads I think. I sort |
| 19 |
of followed it and my take is, when set to on, which I think it is by |
| 20 |
default, everything stays as it is now. Could that change later on, |
| 21 |
possibly. I suspect given the change being pretty large, if it does |
| 22 |
there will be a news item about it . Of course, that would be discussed |
| 23 |
in advance on -dev as well. |

One way to get a heads up on this sort of thing, subscribe to -dev and |
| 26 |
follow the threads that interest you, about upcoming changes at least. |
| 27 |
That's why I subscribe to -dev myself and have done so for years. I |
| 28 |
ignore a lot of it but the things that I think might affect me, I tend |
| 29 |
to read those so as to figure out how it might affect me and can even |
| 30 |
know the path going forward or how to work around it. Just a thought. |
