WordPress 3.0 brought in a lot of great new features for developers, and I want to take advantage of them all.

I’ve already started this with the new menu support, but the themes remained compatible with WordPress 2.9.

The reality however is that there is a lot more in WordPress 3.0 that I want to take advantage of, and it won’t be possible to make these same upgrades for users not yet on the new version.

And where it is possible, it’s still not ideal because our code will get bloated in order to support both versions, and the development time for new features will be longer.
