    I'm not sure if developers are ready for a change in how social engine directly accesses existing files based on the relationship between the core and third party solutions.

    If social engine 4 is required, making a direct change in the near future to social engine 5 may reduce the number of compatible plugins to social engine.

    I thought this was self explanatory but here goes.

    (Thanks for reporting an issue! Please make sure you click the link above to view the issue guidelines, then fill out the blanks below.)
    What are the steps to reproduce this issue?
    1. … Assume social engine reaches version 5.x number system.
    2. … Assume social engine code requires version 4.x for any modules to be compatible until the third parties such modules belong to are updated.
    3. … Assume the decision is considered to force plugin developers to upgrade compatibility requirements due to a proposed major coding update.
    What happens?
    … Assume clients are forced to buy a whole new license due to the major version change. Would this effect coding changes we make now through version 4.x or are they pretty much irrelevant?
    What were you expecting to happen?
    … Version numbers to remain the same unless a major coding change happens forcing the update to version 5. As in, getting rid of Zend to switch to volt or Twig. Otherwise leave version numbers 4.x compatible with third party modules. In other words, don't let version 4.10 become version 5.0 unless such a drastic incompatible coding change happens.
    Any logs, error output, etc?

    Any other comments?
    … No log. Social Engine will at some point need to have less coding dependencies so that html output requires more content to characters ratio for better and faster page loading. Too many scripts load as it is on a per page basis, so improving the cms aspect of this would help.
