IMHO a change as significant as this, which will require tossing years of tooling out the window, and an untold amount of _re_tooling. Should have created an announcement at _least_ as significant as a new release gets on the mailing lists. Thanks for taking the time to reply, Kristof. > > Regards, > Kristof --Chris
