Yes, I know there is one Cobol user, and I agree its not nice for them, but keeping Cobol blocked everything else, so it was not nice for everyone else, not just the three languages that didn't work, but also all improvements from upstream for many other languages.

And since it will be a separate PR the Cobol/Actionscript or whatever else can potentially be a short term fix, and it will be easy to remove later when a better one comes along :)

Sorry. I did look, but maybe because I really don't understand the ctags code organisation they seemed to just be progressive things, so you could never revert just one, the whole lot would stop working.

Neat :)

Talking to @codebrainz in another forum he suggested that the release can be delayed if needed, and I would agree, the changes (other than this :) are not so significant that it would hurt for them to wait.  And besides we missed the last one by several months, why break a good record :)

> Anyway, we now have to pull up our sleeves and fix what needs to be fixed before the release. Help is welcome.

Lets discuss on #2119
