I should pay more attention to this list. Oh well, i'll add my late thoughts anyhow. 1.5 and 2.0 are useless, and should be eliminated! Especially 2.0. 2.0 is almost actually evil (with different scoping than the rest of 2.x... at least 2.1 complained/raised on ugly global/local scoping)... kill it! On the other hand; if nothing depends on them, what harm can they do to leave them? I doubt someone's specifically going to install one of those versions and then complain about compatibility... In other words, I guess I have both opinions. <-: Hmm, not very helpful, i guess. -- Tim Middleton | Cain Gang Ltd | He is no Quaker, for he hath got a Perriwig x@veX.net | www.Vex.Net | on. [OED]
