I assumed that File.php does an include on File_CSV.php (which is unlogical now that I think about it and have a look at File.php). Then we would maybe have broken compatibility. But since we only would move File_CSV to a separate package and dir-locations remain the same there shouldn't be a problem with BC. By the way: What if you install File_CSV and afterwards upgrade File to a version that doesn't contain CSV anymore? I guess then upgrading File might remove File/CVS.php - correct? I guess this could be solved by giving a dependency from File_CSV that demands File v1.0.4 (or what the next release will be called) so that prior to installing File_CSV you have to upgrade File. Greg, might this work as expected? Stefan
