And Python has the same management.  Python 2.6 still runs and compiles
everything written for Python 2.0.  If there is ever a JDK 2.0, I'll wager
it will have the same incompatibility issues as Python 3.0.  That "major
number" change is telling you something.  PHP 5 will not handle a lot of
PHP 4 code.

Are you arguing that language developers do not have the right to make
incompatible changes, ever?
