However, I would prefer to keep EXPIRATION_DATE with _some_ value. - I *strongly* prefer leaving DEPRECATED. If we set it to "strongly discouraged for new installations, retained only to support existing installations that cannot upgrade" (or something to that effect), then I can live with that. mcl
