I beg to differ, there are plenty of people (not to say that there couldn't be more ;) ) who handle bugs etc... you need to look no further then the NEWS file. I may have misunderstood you, so please correct me if I am wrong, but it seems are you advocating a system where by modules are compiled as shared. This approach would open a whole can of worms with users using conflicting module versions, trying to load same modules more then once and so on. Not only will this be a headache for the users, but also for the QA/developers who wish to solve user reported problems. Without a way to determine the exact version of the module it'd be nearly impossible to determine what code is the user actually using. Ilia
