There's no point in making everyone wait on 2.5 for easy and useful stuff.<br></blockquote><div><br><br>ok, if that is the consensus of the community... I can live with minor well encapsulated stuff, but we have been bitten a few times where a bug was introduced or a default behavior changed in a "bug-fix" release. <br>
