Hi again,

  Also: can we please retain the liners usage for those platforms that actually 
have it and that would rather use it?  I can certainly understand the desire to 
eliminate it for platforms that don't have or don't want to port it, but 
eliminating it from all platforms is overkill.

  Thanks,
  --S
