The only problem is when you move documents from 0.46 to 0.45. And why would you do that?
Sharing documents with arbitrary people on the web, say?
Just upgrade everyone to 0.46 when it's out.
We can't forcibly upgrade the whole world. It'll eventually settle out, but there's going to be a fairly long period of time when people are deeply unhappy.
There are still a lot of people using _0.44_ to this day.
There's also the issue that this behavior will be perceived as a bug in 0.46, retarding adoption (I've already heard from one user to that effect). It'd be one thing if it was just fonts with non-ASCII characters or something along those lines, but nearly all fonts are affected. It's going to be extremely obvious.
But please do not try to improve it unless you are willing to dig out all the now-closed bugreports and retest them again after your changes.
Can you give me a list? We absolutely do have to fix this.
I honestly don't think it's worth the effort if your only goal is compatibility with the deeply broken 0.45.
