<p dir="ltr">Arun, I only complained to myself! My published packages dont depend on data.table. My unpublished code does. But I am not complaining about the change, it is a good one! I was just asking if you had reached a decision.</p>
<p dir="ltr">I meant the complaining part as something funny, not to be taken at face value.</p>

<div style="font-family:Helvetica,Arial;font-size:13px;color:rgba(0,0,0,1.0);margin:0px;line-height:auto">Matt also checked all dependent packages on data.table (on CRAN, I believe, bioconductor - not sure) and contacted those authors whose unit tests failed on this issue, IIRC. Are you developing a package that's dependent on data.table? If so, is it already on CRAN or bioconductor? If not, how do you expect us to reach you other than through the mailing list?</div>
<div style="font-family:Helvetica,Arial;font-size:13px;color:rgba(0,0,0,1.0);margin:0px;line-height:auto">And 1.9.3 is a development version, where these things are meant to be ironed out before pushing a *stable* release to CRAN. And IIUC, by the time it'll be pushed to CRAN, there should a provision to use older feature or somehow another fix so that the older feature can be properly deprecated. As I said before, this is *still* in development, and we've not gotten to it yet.</div>
