In any case, I'm against what Jordan has implemented since I've got no way to stop it working that way as a local admin. This is only part of the change, the package installation code now has to be modified to register packages in that area and with Jordan's proposal that would be a hard wired path that would be very hard to change at a future date and a nightmare to change for a different local configuration. -- Paul Richards, Netcraft Ltd.
