I doubt that it would be possible. "The foreseeable future" means something like "as far into the future as we can currently predict". If they could foresee a point at which this option would go away, that point would be in the foreseeable future, so the statement you quoted would not have been true. However, they cannot guarantee that they will not eventually decide to remove this option - for reasons, and therefore at a time, which they cannot currently foresee - so they cannot (honestly) promise that the option will never go away. > Ideally, I would like to see this option remain in all future ESR > releases I agree (barring some better solution, which might include dropping the whole idea), and it very likely will. The state of the art in prophecy being what it is, however, no one can safely guarantee that. -- The Wanderer The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.
