I thought about this some.

You and I have tended to have the same questions about changes in
past releases, so it's no surprise. :-)

I'm trying to be as conservative as possible.  I *think* these changes
are simple and safe -- but I'm never 100% sure.  As for 3.0.1, that's
going to be fixing important bugs in 3.0, right?  Since none of these
were regressions from 2.95.2, they can't really be affecting existing
code very much, so I guess I'm not seeing them as that important.
They'll be in 3.1, of course.

I guess I'm more comfortable taking a pretty bright-line approach, as
outlined in my original mail.  If there are individual fixes that
you/we/users think are truly important, even though they're not
regressions, let's take them case by case.

Is that fair?
