I read the whole thread and didn't see it being mentioned even once. It certainly wasn't mentioned in the initial email - quite on the contrary, the original email suggested that this 'forced labor' would be welcome by the users since they'd be removing hacks instead of adding ones. With each feature that we provide the script and guidelines for maintaining compatibility, I don't see a big problem. I don't see much of a gain either, but whatever. Features where we can't offer compatibility should not be touched. Zeev
