I haven't seen anyone suggest that the functionality of sourcing it into the shell is what they want to preserve, so I really don't think this is relevant. I've also said on several occasions that if the users object to having it removed based on seeing the warnings that we should change it to just 'early' and remove the deprecation warning. Now can we please stop trying to preserve something before we're sure that it's really something that users want and need? Doug -- This .signature sanitized for your protection
