Ok that change seems reasonale and if the common base class is
achievable with CRPT then
whats the problem?

Basically I don't understand e why I have to argue this issue to this
extend. A change was made that
breaks code because it is not backwards compatible, I have to change my
code (and that of my
students) to get things to compile and I have to argue why it is should
be reverted?
As far as I can see no new feature was added or bug fixed, its only that
ypu find this non backwards compatible
change aesthetically more pleasing.. Could you please give me a better
reason?
