We can always make drastic workarounds if the migration tools take too long or simply don't work.

Kill GNATS after two major releases. 2) Fix all bugs and make a perfect release (OK, not very realistic but theoretically possible ;-) ). > So, manpower, as usual :-) > Yes, and unfortunately the problem keeps growing :(.
