Yes, I know.  That's why I am sighing a bit:  Both approaches need work
or are inconvenient in one way or the other.

I am following the first approach, since I sort of can live with that
kind of impaired reproducibility and I really want (some of) the new
features constantly added to Org.

I just want to say: For me, the more backwards compatible Org stays the
better.  That's why I vote for the alias in the initial topic of this
thread.  And for similar measures in other cases, where backwards
compability is as 'cheap' as in this case.  It will just mean a little
less work for me in the end.

Regards,
Andreas
