Ok, I change all those class names, bring in Flow, and keep going. Now I've finished my changes, and need to commit. Wait - this code needs to work on a stock 3.2 image. Need to change all those names back before I commit. Change them, commit and need to continue working. But Flow's loaded, so the code won't work until I change all the names again... I realize that you're saying that eventually Flow will be 100% backwards compatible with the current streams. Great. When that's true, I'll be glad to start testing it. Until then, I can't picture the process.
