As far as I remember we already discussed this:

Apparently I'm getting old and forgetful. :/

By looking at the last thread and this thread I think the following people support the proposal:

Johan Tibell Michael Snoyman Christian Maeder Henning Thielemann

And the following people against:

Ganesh Sittampalam Ivan Lazar Miljenovic Erik Hesselink

I think my previous opposition was based on the fact that orphan instances appeared to be ruled out altogether by the proposal then.

Given the statement in your new proposal "If a package defines an orphan instance, it must depend on the minor version of the packages", I'm now a +1.

I think I was the same, so I'm now +1 as well. -- Ivan Lazar Miljenovic Ivan.Miljenovic@gmail.com http://IvanMiljenovic.wordpress.com
