IMHO...
Afraid I have to concur with you.... with the addition of the multilingual coding
in the current versions, the code is getting bloated and filled with products and
features that many of us have no use for. Further loss in speed and increase in
potential
bugs should be avoided. I also have no intention of doing multilingual registrations,
and the prcing for the new certificate product makes it a loser. We'd need to resell
the certs for $150+ to be worth the hassle, and that just isn't competitive... nor, I
might
add, in the interest of the open source philosophy. Our initial interest in a TuCows
cert was as TuCows "created" unique product... not in a simple rebrand of an already
overpriced product.
Heck. in all seriousness, I rather sell OpenSRS mugs and T-shirts and other nifty
stuff than overpriced certs and email services for which there is no demand/profit.
