No, actually it is different because in vB4 you could initially use some of the vB3.6, 3.7 and 3.8 mods without any changes and in some cases with minor changes. You did not require a complete rewrite of all the mods. Mostly it was the styling system which got disrupted.

However It seems that in vB5 all the mods from 3.6, 3.7, 3.8 and 4.x will stop working at once from the onset including any paid mods that you have. If this happens, transition will surely take more time than vB4 did not to mention the additional expense of any paid mods.

That may be, but I hope that we are given the options to disable elements that we do not require.
