>From the aspect of you have a legitimate bug that's causing a feature to
not work properly, sure I agree. From the aspect of I've pushed
something during a freeze before and was told I shouldn't have, maybe
I'm not the best person to ask ;-).

BTW: I understand your point about not wanting to document a specific
version since it's possible (I suppose) that the API could be backported
to some earlier release (not that we'd ever do that).

Still, I'm reacting to a feature someone may have thought was working
that suddenly will cause a failure to start a domain if they don't have
the new API, but did have the old API. At least a running guest won't
"go missing". IOW: how can we inform the user that the minimum version
we expected now changed because of some change in an underlying package
we depend on.

All that said - push and say sorry later ;-)

John
