imv it's a disservice to our users to claim it's working when there's a myriad of problems with it that we only allude to in the documentation, some of which simply have no way of being addressed by a user. Perhaps if we remove the landmines we can say it works, but imv it doesn't today. I suspect we'll simply not get to a point where we agree on this, but if you'd like to propose a patch that fixes the issues and the documentation, that'd be a great direction to take this. If that's not going to happen, then I'm in favor of removing it. I really dislike these half-measures and keeping deprecated things that complicate our code and our documentation forever. Thanks, Stephen
