This has been the accepted norm in some upstream communities as well. The python community, for instance, readily accepts patches that pull their code forward to work with latest versions. The only python project which didn't do that was Zope and that caused zope to disappear and reformulate itself as a quicker moving set of much smaller packages. Anyhow, this makes the Hadoop anecdote an interesting counter point to me :-) -Toshio
