Yes, Alan should have seen the HEADS UP, but this change needs to go in the release notes anyways, if for no other reason than it shouldn't bite 4.6-RELEASE users when the time comes. I've got some text queued up for my next update of the release notes. The reason this didn't happen yet is that I somehow missed its significance, despite that fact that the HEADS UP applies to me and that I would have gotten bit by this on the next installworld on my home firewall box. :-) Thanks...
