Well I don't think it really diminishes, but I agree that 1+1 is maybe 1.9 and not 2. On the other hand, if you remember that perception is everything (or at least very important), 1+1 can easily be perceived as 3, and in a negative sense.Exactly. And many people lost much more time to hunt down "smaller" things like the "Indirect modification of overloaded property.." or the numerous other annoying (but sometimes required) changes. And those means 1+1+1+1=2^32/F* php for most of them. A dropped extension, function or feature, when known (and done) soon enough, is by far easier (planning is possible, migration, etc.). --Pierre
