["Nathan Bubna (JIRA)" <de...@velocity.apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VELOCITY-659?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12659590#action_12659590 ] 

Nathan Bubna commented on VELOCITY-659:
---------------------------------------

Hmm.   Your change in r729843 is both incomplete (things like VelocityEngine were overlooked), and it makes it so that extensions like VelocityTools will not compile against 1.7-dev anymore.  Gump will be complaining about this a lot.

I'm not so sure it's really worth breaking API compatibility for things like LogChute implementations just to clean this up.   In a 2.x branch, this would be great, but it's a bit unprecedented to break compatibility like this in Velocity's 1.x series.

I'm inclined to veto this change, but i'm still open to being convinced otherwise, if you can. :)
