This is a particularly sore spot for me as I started the same thread a while back when MM refused to create a -EAPI build of the 1.3.x apache dll for CF 4.5. They tried to claim that DEAPI was post 4.5 and therefore I was asking for legacy support, then when I showed them that DEAPI actually existed prior to the release of 4.5 they ultimately said they would do it, then never came through.
Because of that I will no longer support the new versions of Cold Fusion as a developer. I am still running 4.5 for most of my products, which is stable and fast enough, and will be porting to something else, either Java or PHP when a new developmetn is required. MM lost a long time Cold Fusion develment house over this (we have been developing in CF since version 1.5), which is stupid as it is a simple recompile. Clearly this is about forcing upgrades down our throats and not about providing good support for the customer base, which ultimatly makes us buy the upgrades willingly.
