At one point you were advocating the opposite when I was advocating for
moving forward. The difference between then and now is that when I wanted
to start moving forward, we had enough developers to support two streams
of development. We don't anymore. We have barely enough to support one
stream, which is why...

.. we cannot support 2.x and this 3.x simultaneously. If we're only
changing Prefs as part of this major upgrade, then not long from now we'll
also be changing Config as a major upgrade, and there are more to come
after that. If each one is a major release, we're going to have a lot of
major numbers and a lot of dead realeases along the way.

In a nutshell, I think you're jumping the gun on this. I think that you're
not making clear plans, and I feel that you're sweeping away a lot of
concensus work that I did in the past and have already begun working on.
