Why is this a slippery slope? Are you saying we shouldn't provide features our customers are asking for simply because they're not implemented in Macromedia's products? The very reason they're asking us for them is because they're not implemented in Macromedia's products!
Yes, BlueDragon should be backwards-compatible with ColdFusion. That is, anything that runs on a Macromedia ColdFusion server should also run on BlueDragon (we're not 100% there yet, and probably never will be; but, of course, there's also CF5 code that doesn't run on CFMX, so Macromedia's not 100% there yet either, and probably never will be). But, the whole reason for BlueDragon's existence is to offer features, functions, configurations, deployment options, etc., that aren't supported by Macromedia's products. If BlueDragon was merely an exact clone of ColdFusion there wouldn't be much point to it. So if you're telling me that we can't (or shouldn't) add features to BlueDragon until Macromedia implements them first, then you're basically telling me we should kill BlueDragon as a product (which isn't going to happen anytime soon). Or maybe I'm missing your point?
