Same here. After all, we all do care what happens to Lua. The big Lua 5.2
mistake was not deprecating features (it turned out we can live without
function environments) but breaking the C API. And I can't see any really
good technical reason for doing so. That immediately made 5.2 adoption
conditional on people going to the trouble of rebuilding, and so on.
