Hi all!

The long-awaited GDR fixing numerous bugs in .NET 3.5 SP1 has arrived
a short while ago:
<http://www.hanselman.com/blog/NET35SP1GDRIsAvailableToDownload.aspx>.

As you might remember, DynamicProxy also run into one of these issues
(we blogged about this at
<http://www.re-motion.org/blogs/team/archive/2008/08/14/.net-3.5-sp1-broke-some-scenarios-for-mixins.aspx>,
Ayende blogged about it at
<http://ayende.com/Blog/archive/2008/08/13/How-.Net-3.5-SP1-broke-Rhino-Mocks.aspx>)
- the ParameterInfo.Get...CustomModifiers APIs are broken in a
specific use case. There has been a hotfix for this issue for some
time (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/957541), but now that the GDR is
released, there are two questions:

1- Does the GDR fix our issue?
2- If yes, what do we do?

Regarding question number 1: Scott Hanselmann says yes:
<http://www.hanselman.com/blog/UpdateOnNETFramework35SP1AndWindowsUpdate.aspx>
(but that was in October), but the GDR's KB article doesn't mention it
(<http://support.microsoft.com/kb/959209>, and that came out on
December 31). Does anyone know anything more specific?

Regarding number 2: Hammett removed the support for custom modifiers,
and thus broke DynamicProxy use cases for F#, Spec#, and C++/CLI. Now,
if an update for .NET 3.5 SP1 exists, should we add support for custom
modifiers again? Or should we wait until Q1, when 3.5 SP1 + GDR are
distributed via Windows Update?

Best regards,
Fabian
