I agree :).. Sort of like it does when you upgrade MySQL . . I can see that it's why they have a data.default/cgi-bin.default, but it should let you know as well. I'm confused as to what you're saying though. Are you saying that it overwrote your data directory even though it was not pointing to data.default? Or are you saying that it was linked to data.default and you think (as well as I) that it should let you know before blowing data.default away (perhaps a make flag)?
