You say true.  I am still apprehensive about chasing after silly build
failures like new pure virtual methods added to base classes.  In that
sense, Tom's suggestion is not what I was hoping for.

But I do not want to go against the collective opinions if everyone thinks
adding pure virtual methods is OK.  As I said before, even though I disagree
with it, I will make the virtual methods pure, if it's what the project
wants.
