Comment 3 for bug 903340

Something smells fishy here: since when *forward* compatibility became a requirement for tools like intltool ?

I would wait for upstream reaction - if they see this as a reasonable change, OK, otherwise, I don't really see the point.

I'm not saying it's completely unreasonable, but it seems like fixing something, that ain't broken - there was a purpose for the change: https://bugs.launchpad.net/intltool/+bug/398576.
