They overwrite many methods. It makes no sense at all to have a system
in beta for 4 Months and then change stuff a week before a release.

Ned posted *a lot* of fixed for morphic to the list. Many of those are 
required
for Connectors, but not all of them got added to 3.7.

There is no way to add connectors to 3.7, as we can't add all the 
patches.

Maybe people should have put some effort into integrating all the stuff 
into 3.7
when it was possible, but somehow nobody wanted to do that back then. I 
wrote
lots of mails to the list that there is work to be done with regard to 
harvesting, but
everyone seems to be thinking that it is not important.
