It's the usual song ... we shouldn't change interfaces or required tools in a stable series, and the least we can do is make 4.0 available somehow, because someone may rely on it. On the flip side, I don't care, and I suspect the people who actually are using DRM are on 4.1 now. Further, if _you_ are maintaining the cruft and it bothers _you_, then stop :) Robert Love
