I realize that I cannot regard myself as the typical developer *with*
Grok, but I'd like to fix my code when I upgrade to a newer Grok
version. That's what I would like other developers to do too.
+1 on upgrade notes.
-0 on putting lots of work in backwards compatibility packages - we
just do not have the developer-bandwidth for this.
