    initial v1  
    1 The problem I saw with the general unrestricted use of your appkit redefines loose in LegacySupport was that every piece of software that ever tested for something to be defined, or tested if a given function existed, or tested if a window responds to a given selector, or ... did any kind of workaround at all in it for older systems support (and that is quite a lot of Apple-related software) ... was at risk of being very affected by your refines in a way that I found very hard to predict.
