Which policy change is that? And what community has DCC lost support in?

that's not exactly recent. (Spring 2005)
Sorry, after doing this for 20 years anything that happened a year ago is "recent". Sorry if that confused you.
I'd also not call that a "policy decision", as that implies it was made
Again, wording. Sorry. Decisions forced versus decision freely made are both decisions. You're right, I could have been more specific but I wans't aiming for that level of accuracy when I mumbled this.
I've not seen anything resembling "loss of community support" for DCC as a result.
<shrug> 2 years ago everyone I know used DCC. Now, my employer is the last remaining site that I know of using DCC. They were one of the first public DCC servers (2 digit number) and strongly support Vernon. And they are ~2 weeks away from shutting that down forever.
which is pretty much why Razor sprang into existence.
Your facts are pretty far off here. (snip)
Sorry, level of accuracy was related to my own personal observations. Nobody that I know of used Razor until DCC became difficult. I know that we used to compile without razor support locally.
I think I'll take my own advice and not reply on things that I don't know the in-depth details of.
