My point of view is also simple. You accidently fucked up the tarballs. That it still works is a matter of accident, it's not working the way it was designed. People have been warned, can look for themselves, and can come to their own conclusions. My conclusion is that I wont use 1.7.0 tarballs. It's a matter of trust, and I just don't trust what you put into the EFL 1.7.0 released tarballs by accident. I hope you at least learned something from this and take more care next time. I'd like to actually use any future EFL 1.8.0 tarballs. -- A big old stinking pile of genius that no one wants coz there are too many silver coated monkeys in the world.
