I think we took the path of least resistance at the time. IMO, we should find out when the newer ones were introduced, probe for this information during config (probably just the OS version would be sufficient), and then use the ones that are available to us. (This would hopefully then avoid the deprecation warning entirely.) -- Will "Coke" Coleda
