Nathan Bubna commented on VELOCITY-519:
---------------------------------------

I don't see how this could be done in a backwards compatible way.  I don't want to be pigheaded about this, but i really think this doesn't belong in a 1.x version.  Of course, there's no reason someone can't start working on 2.0 now...
