The change makes sense, but you should investigate if it is at all possible to do this going through normal deprecation procedures, which would probably involve having both functionalities for some time (likely via differently named methods or via a flag implemented in a backward-compatime way), then having a deprecation period on the "old" functionality. After that the deprecated functionality can be removed. After a suitable wait period, the vacated space in the namespace can now be used for the new method. You'll be taking a couple of years before you're there.
If it's not possible, you'd better have very good reasons to probably break people's code out there with very little warning. Once you find a way to do this, there's another choice in convention to consider: do you go with (1:1:g+1) weights or with (1:g+1:1) ? I.e., with [X:Z:Y] or [X:Y:Z]. Both have precedent and people who are used to the other convention will find it really annoying to adjust. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
