Re: :e handles one file

I've never understood this type of software policy..

You can patch and update the old software, not changing behaviour, and
change the new software (progression!). If you keep updating the new
to be compatible with all the old while adding new features, you're
going to end up with a big heap of .. lots of stuff most people don't
need anymore..

If other systems rely on old software, then just dont use the new
version (maybe update the systems?)..
