I am +1 for avoiding the repackaging if this is in fact very low incidence, but calling it binary compatible is a bit of a stretch (unless I am missing something), since it seems to me that this will result in RTE if dropped in if a user supplies a listener that does not implement the new method, which pretty much all "old" listeners would not. So anyone who uses the listener *must* add the implementation and recompile. Am I missing something here? Definitely want to cover this in release notes, since for those who use TailerListeners, unless they add the new method, they will get unexpected RTE at EOF.
