thanks, i will update the text a bit. 1.8 should probably fully deny the 
old version then. bugfix versions shouldn't target such things.
same goes for the 3d statusmap plus wap interface - 1.7 will warn, 1.8

contact form at icinga.org or i...@icinga.org or directly to me (though 
le me is busy a lot, answers may take a while).

you've been "assimilated" (even if that is not the padawan's force 
ehehe) already, it's just the question of how we proceed (solaris and so 
on ... ). i'll put that on my todo list for next week.

kind regards,
