That seems to me to be the primary motivator. Other folks were talking about our lpr being somewhat arcane. My only concern is that we lose through incompatibility with previous releases what we gain in maintenance. Of course, I'm one of the people that isn't affected by this. I'm just worried about the "replacement bandwagon" that seems to be gathering momentum. I'd feel more comfortable knowing that each replacement proposal were evaluated on its own merits, rather than just being allowed to ride in on the momentum of another. Ciao, Sheldon.
