    And I've have to say a *definite* no here...the result of that
would be two different drivers, with different features available to
it...totally unacceptable.

    That would be like taking our 32bit vs 64bit server and saying
that since nobody many ppl are using 64bit right now, we're going to get
rid of those features that are currently broken, instead of trying to
address them.

    Quite frankly, this whole thread is starting to cause me to
reconsider my decision to move away from the old driver over to this new
driver... *sigh*
