Everyone wants "bug compatibility". You have no idea how maintenance of a decades old, stable codebase works. AMXX as a project is way, way past the point where it can afford to break backwards compatibility, except for security related issues. Existing plugins are a commitment the maintainers have to respect at every turn, as legacy plugins are the core (and, frankly, close to the only) reason this project is useful to its userbase. I only have to go back a single page in the New Plugins section to find a thread from 2010 that I have replies in, and I literally haven't posted here in two years. Arkshine is 100% making the right call here, so spare us your fake outrage and ignorance, thank you very much.
