Ya. I think we all agree in principal. It's the "fair amount of upheaval" that I'm worried about... I haven't seen this causing issues for users. So, haven't been particularly motivated to fix. Esp since it's fixed in G 3.0/OEJB 3.2 and likely to cause issues on the G 2.2.1 codebase... Seems like we may be as likely to create new problems as fix old ones... --kevan
