It for sure is possible. However the DRM codebase proves that it's incapable of even doing BSD support properly (eg without the right abstractions but instead fouling up the entire codebase to the point of unreadability). That gives me no confidence the "keep 2.4 support" will not turn out to be at least as ugly/broken/wrong. --NzB8fVQJ5HfG6fxh Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFBIIJtxULwo51rQBIRAmqVAJ9KaVZCj402mDSkgeSiezXLbY5bCwCggowe BHQj0aPW/mYvSEB1YPY1tkU= =eLGw -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --NzB8fVQJ5HfG6fxh--
