[zeromq-dev] Moving to 0MQ/3.0, yes or no?

[Gregg Irwin]

Thanks for all your thoughts Martin. I agree that breaking things
hard, one time, is better than small breaks between every version. And
these are really design breaks you're talking about, with good reasons
for making those breaks, correct?

It's not arbitrary, building some level of consensus seems possible,
and it seems much better to break things now, making life better for
everyone (you included) in the long term. I don't know how many people
use 0MQ in production today, or how many will be adversely affected by
the breaks, but the number is probably small compared to when 0MQ
reaches critical mass and change is *really* painful, and for a *lot*
of people.
