10:40 MTDiscord <luatic> proller: because that's a MuC thing in the first place, and porting it to MT would've been significant effort?
11:06 nrz       remind in the network cleanup we dropped support from some hardcoded things which were supported previously on 0.4. And 5 years ago is far now. What is the break you want to introduce now ?
19:57 sfan5     merging #12129, #12110

22:12 MTDiscord <MisterE> There is still a sizable userbase of MT 0.4.x players, including many who are on old systems with outdated repos. Readding support wouldn't be a bad thing imo
22:12 MTDiscord <MisterE> Especially since Muc has now dropped support for minetest
22:18 sfan5     it's not "readding support", it's more like "going out of your way to support something really old"
22:19 sfan5     models are incompatible, attachments offsets are incompatible, formspecs are incompatible, auth is incompatible, number serialization is incompatible, client behaviours are incompatible, there's probably some HUD things I don't remember
22:20 sfan5     all of these need either freshly implemented compatibility layers or weakened guarantees towards modders who will find that their mods suddenly cannot perform as expected
22:28 sfan5     as for 5.0: the mistake wasn't being incompatible, the mistake was not being incompatible enough#
22:28 sfan5     there are so many hardcoded behaviours thats should have been gotten rid of in a concentrated effort before 5.0
