But I won't ask you that. :)
No, you are right about adding Yet Another Symbol. However, I have a philosophical problem with make every change subject to some configuration: it basically abdicates responsibility of the framework developers (us), forcing framework users to make critical decisions. This came up in the excellent book "The Paradox of Choice", which is recommended reading. If you look at, for example, Mac/iPhone apps, you'll see consistently that they have fewer options and less configuration than equivalent Windows apps ... and people love them more (I've just seen this with my wife, who starting using Pages after years of Word). Now this specific case is one that treads onto hallowed ground of backwards compatibility, so it may be something where we introduce a symbol, and mark it immediately as deprecated (I always introduce a SymbolConstant static value, to provide documentation, and as a place to hang @Deprecated), so that people have a release to get used to the change. >> >>> >>> -- >>> Thiago H. de Paula Figueiredo >>> Independent Java, Apache Tapestry 5 and Hibernate consultant, developer, >>> and >>> instructor >>> Owner, Ars Machina Tecnologia da Informação Ltda. >>> http://www.arsmachina.com.br >>> >> >> >> > > > -- > Thiago H. de Paula Figueiredo > Independent Java, Apache Tapestry 5 and Hibernate consultant, developer, and > instructor > Owner, Ars Machina Tecnologia da Informação Ltda. > Consultor, desenvolvedor e instrutor em Java, Tapestry e Hibernate > Coordenador e professor da Especialização em Engenharia de Software com > Ênfase em Java da Faculdade Pitágoras > http://www.arsmachina.com.br > -- Howard M.
