To Emacs 21, 22, and 23.1 users, the default behaviors concerning
`message-interactive' and `message-yank-prefix' will be changed.
See the table attached below.  They may not be serious, but as
for `message-yank-prefix', it may not be easy to users to find
the way to make Gnus work as before (the new behavior is that
cited lines are prefixed only with three space characters).
It's enough to let me hesitate to merge the changes to No Gnus.
