In the
near-term my main concern is that
1.5 only compatibility will prevent some from contributing to Mylar.
In
the longer term yes, this tool should not be limited to the masses who
are
still stuck on 1.4. Also, the fact that there is no 1.5-based free
software stack bothers me.
Next week
we’ll try to set up a 1.4
compatible retroweaver/backport build and document progress on https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=104601.
Also, removing the 1.5 stuff from mylar.tasklist and mylar.bugzilla is
not out of the question if that results in contribution to those
components,
but since that will be a pain we’ll wait to see what happens with
Retroweaver.
