For gawd's sake guys. I've asked three times and now I'm getting rhetorical questions for answers. It's like drawing teeth. Will someone please write a halfway decent description of this change? One which (at least) covers all the questions I've been asking? What the change is, why it is being made, what the user-visible presentation is, what the impact upon users is, why we think it won't be a problem, etc? The stuff which should have been right there from day one, before the code change was even made? Thanks.
