Actually, I could do the Free42/Free42+ fork before the point where I added the big stack. Or even earlier, but then I would end up taking away functionality that has already been released, and that feels a bit like cheating.

It is a difficult judgement call, as I'm sure you agree:

Even most purists enjoy some enhancements. Where to draw the line?
