I'd also like to add that even fairly innocuous changes can result in big headaches. In patch 3.20, move order validation was improved. This means that sneaking out of sieges and force marching were eliminated.

What is not generally known is that it introduced a MAJOR bug that would have had everyone on the forum screaming bloody murder and it would have ruined or at least severely hindered all ongoing MP games on hosting. And the implemented change was FAR less than adding a waypoint system that allows sequential movement from one turn to another. Fortunately that one was caught and squashed, which is also the reason for so many versions in such a short order.

So just take Kristoffer's word for it when he says it's a no go. If he can imagine the kind of consequences he enumerated right off the bat, I don't want to know what kind of exotics it might introduce into the game. We still have the immortality weirdness that has not been hunted down, the F9 and D9 bless bugs plus some other stuff. Like Kristoffer, I prefer the current system even if it's not the smoothest possible, because it works without major problems.
