Or system eyes in most cases. :P

This is true, but easily dealt with, if I'm understanding things 
correctly (I haven't had time to try the patch myself): Just make a 
throwaway set of hair/eyes/skin/whatever's getting corrupted, and switch 
to something else when you're done editing. Of course that's assuming 
that the cloud-ruthing isn't permanent.

Regardless, I'm excited to see effort being put into this. I can't use 
2.0 in its current state, and even with all the tweaks in place its new, 
longer methods of doing things is detrimental to my work. So I'm glad 
someone's working on backporting, and I know many other content creators 
that will be similarly pleased. :)
