If you're keen to change that reality then go for it with my full blessings. Otherwise, it's simply pointless to target a _potential_ scenario rather than the one we have right now and people will still get nasty-grams from me if they break my release builds with some change. Pureness of heart and a strong ideology are all well and good, but the current constraints are still valid and there's no excuse for not operating within the parameters established by the build/release system we have. If a release worked "yesterday" and breaks today then the blame does not fall on the system itself, it falls on whomever broke it between yesterday and today. :-) Jordan
