I agree about the *** but anyway, THANKS Antonio for this work.

Keeping 1.3 compatibility for the 2.1.x branch has been a community 
decision IIRC, and it's thanks to regular contributions like yours that 
this decision is a reality.

Now, of course, 1.3 is not that important today and we can certainly 
drop this soon - but dropping it in between minor releases wouldn't be 
a good idea, so big thanks!

Big +1 here!

I wasn't around when this decision was made and I was surprised to read 
that you don't need it yourself either, so that proves all the more the 
effort and commitment from you Antonio.

I'd suggest we all need to explicitly let you know how much we 
appreciate your work and dedication, rather than have you deduct 
implicit compliments from a discussion that's going off-topic by the 
time you felt compelled to react.

So once again: BIG THANKS.

Bye, Helma
