Not as active as stable, of course, but active enough to warrant consideration. 2) No way to answer this question, really. :-) 3) No, there would be no greater risk of overloading a node, as it would adjust itself in exactly the same manner, regardless of the node versions it was connecting with. 4) I only meant that it was "elite" in the sense that, because it was NOT enabled by default, one had to take extraordinary measures to activate this facility. > > Of course, 0.7 is bound to bring some radical changes, > > where we'd want to disable this feature again, but for > > now, it might be nice to build it into the downloadable > > packages, so everyone could benefit from it. > > I think we could benefit from somebody taking over maintenance of 0.6 > while the 0.7 rewrite is being done.

I'd hate to see 0.6 languish totally while Toad is busy with his 0.7 rewrite. There's always room for improvement/new ideas. -- Conrad J.
