1.  "Support" could mean a lot of things, not just engineering effort.  
Technically speaking, my employer donated some hours for me to work on 
the release, but we don't have it plastered all over the place.

2.  I wasn't exactly sure this applied to the 4.6 release, but I figured
(in my somewhat sleep-deprived state) it was better to leave it in if I
wasn't sure.

Sorry for any confusion this might have created but, bottom line, it
isn't that big a deal.

Cheers,

Bruce.
