renamed, things will appear to "just work". so there is no way for them to know that they need to fix their code which means they wont. otherwise, people hitting a build failure will know immediately that they need to update something.
there's also #warning for this type of situation, but I agree with adding glaring comments in the code.
#warning's wont help as there's no way to take it onto a member of a struct (unless there's something i'm not aware of), plus the common ppc code explicitly set it all the time and we dont want to have that trigger a warning -mike
