Subject: Re: [jira] Commented: (LUCENE-2262) QueryParser should now allow

Nah, let's just make fuzzy not work in the qp by default :) And make  
that back compat while your at it - while not abusing Version so that  
it's used for something subjective :) wouldn't want to rile up Hoss.

I'm like 3/4 serious.
