The new + strategy will by default be disabled during the OTP 19 + release, but will be the only strategy available as of + the OTP 20 release. + + The new strategy is slightly incompatible with the + strategy being used by default in OTP 19. Using the + default strategy, processes holding funs that refer to + the module being purged either fail a soft purge, or + will be killed during a hard purge. The new strategy + completely ignores funs. If funs referring to the code + being purged exist, and are used after a purge, an + exception will be raised upon usage.
