This could be tricky as I believe that library is also used in building core Lisp, so backward compatibility would be an issue. Maybe the best strategy is to have a separate version for the packages, which 21.5 (and maybe 21.4) would switch to using. Then after a suitable interval we could retire that and declare that building packages with 21.1 is no longer supported but should "mostly work", especially with Mule, while needing a few tweaks by hand. -- Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Don't ask how you can "do" free software business; ask what your business can "do for" free software.
