well quite (although removal seems to me better than releasing without
tackling the technical issues [those you documented in your latest RFC] ...
but that's just me).

so far as my +1  - I give my vote to Greg's preferred solution(s) (Greg get
to vote with a +2 :-) ... I don't say this lightly, I've been convinced on-list
and off- by detailed arguments and stacks of example code that Greg really has
thought this through more than anyone else and what he offers is better than
anything anybody else has brought to the table (regarding the issues highlighted
in his last RFC)

rgds,
Jochem
