Or we can declare that CHICKEN 5 != 5.0 and go on with the breakage. I'm
concerned that trying to fit everything into 5.0 will never finish -
there could be lengthy discussions about proposed features and no
action. Personally, I think that modularizing the core is of utmost
importance now, fixing eggs and adding features could be postponed to
some later point releases.
