	No...  If the functionality changes (major changes in parameter or
paradigm, not merely enhancements) then there needs to be a change.  I
agree with changing the name.

	As I said, it needs a name change.  I would have changed the name on
the various versions of pump (except I was in the camp screaming to DUMP
PUMP) and I was very unhappy with the change in stunnel that broke all
my SSL based VPN tunnels on an upgrade.
