Amazingly enough - they actually listen!! (Yeah, of course, it wasn't like

I was really happy to see this....
<snip from="Jeff Whatcott, Director, ColdFusion Product Marketing /
Macromedia" to="cf-talk...">
Based on valued feedback from the community, we have changed our licensing
plans for shared server hosting with ColdFusion Server 5. Here's what you
need to know:
1. We do not plan to offer a Hosting Service Provider Edition of
ColdFusion Server 5 at this time
2. We plan to license the Professional and Enterprise editions of
ColdFusion Server 5 in a way that allows you to provide shared server
hosting services

It may be redundant, but I haven't seen it posted here. Good news for CF
developers, and thus for Fusebox developers.
