As we now agree with it, let's get busy and start breaking > things! :) dont know if that is a good idea =) i dont see the problems by breaking in other projects, but if you break it in a language like php, weve got the problem that a lot of scrips will not work any longer.. if you break in c / perl / etc. thats no prob, afaik you just need to compile your work before you update the language. In PHP you cant, if you upgrade your scripts need to work if not, providers would need to run more than one php version.. this would give a chaos like index.php4.0 index.php4.1 index.php4.2 etc... this cant be the right way... -- Peter
