I do not know it.
It is a question to the developers team. Unfortunately I am not
programer.
The same question we can ask regarding any other part of this OS.
Something that is working in one release is broken in other, i.e.,
InteractiveBastille:
when you start (well, when I try it), I got message about line 256 ...
B.T.W. I have 8.2 beta3 installed, this same was on beta2.
After commenting out this line it works fine!
So what it is? It look like rush Microsoft style. Faster, faster ...,
and it happened.
But if you check up (in the Bastille example) how many people are
working on it, at last the names of them are there, you can wonder what
going on.
