Quoting Andrew Church <achurch at achurch.org>:

Can I ask why you can't just rename the old one to something like bahamut-old or
something and later remove it?
I think it would be great if you did support the 1.4 releases befor there are
some patchsets like blitzed that uses 1.4.

Btw, what does not work in .31 and 1.8? I haven't seen anything broken yet.
