> By the way, I don't think the lesson you should take home is the need for an escape hatch. Read the message by Junio on August 24th, 2008. Being nice and not too loud during the deprecation period kept users complacent about upcoming changes and upset them when the change finally came. Being un-nice and too loud during the deprecation period would have upset them early instead. You cannot avoid upsetting users either way whenever you change the behavior. That's the lesson you should learn.
Thank you for correcting me, and I apologize for the misinformation.
It is very difficult to balance between the users who are upset enough
by the change to be vocal about it, and the users who benefit from the
change but that this list never hears from, but I appreciate that
Junio is trying to accommodate both.
