Re: Was GNUstep ready for GNUstep ?

[Wolfgang Sourdeau]

I don't see how keeping some variables around would not have been 
possible. Even by noting them as "deprecated" and waiting for a few 
more release before removing them. That's always the case during an 
intelligent migration process. "GNUSTEP_INSTALLATION_DIR" is probably 
a variable which was possible to keep and that most modules are 
counting on...

Maybe the goals that were targetted are valid. Maybe they were reached 
correctly. But it's also important to think about the people who 
depend on such a package before causing so much incompatibility. 
Unless you can prove that keeping things compatible would harm the 
intended process, I consider that way of doing things as stupid.
