I have visions of Mr Vaxman having a pipeline built between Ireland and
his New Jersey home to supply his Beer Tap ! (routed via north atlantic
to ensure it stays cold :-)


I have to say however that his argument about his own customers being
negatively affected by this change and stuck without fixes to restore
documented functionality are very very valid.

In the end, 8.3 may become the next 5.5-2 with a lot of people stopping
upgrades because patches for bugs in 8.4 will not be available.
