Weakening system security like this for an > indeterminate period really bothers me. 1) I whined for reviews for long enough. Where were you? 2) With the SMP "Destabilization" of the tree coming, I took the opportunity because a) Merging differences was going to get harder; and b) folk were already warned off the use off CURRENT for production purposes. 3) I fully recognise that this needs to be worked on; now that I have gotten rid of a lot of mess, I can give it my attention; the time is not "indeterminate", it is "work in progress" (Ya, Ya, semantics).
