Uhm, i'm just curious: when patching 3.x, that would require patching the Halo components in Flex version > 3 as well to be patch to not break compatibility when people migrate their components and projects to later versions of the framework. I can't really tell about the work and effort that has to be put into it, but wouldn't it be more effective, when it comes to pushing the SDKs, to put the energy into the current frameworks?
