WDDX has NOT been dumped. In fact, Updater2 fixed some bugs that existed with WDDX in CFMX/original. I still use WDDX as it's a quick and easy way to serialize data. In fact, I have a simple bug tracker (written by Nathan Dintenfas) that uses WDDX to store data to the file system. It's not going to support a thousand users, but I can drop the file in an app and have it running in a few seconds. No need to set up a database or dsn.
