Hi Robert- I agree the osgDB::readRef*File() functions are safe. I was only noting that the osgDB::readRef*File() functions that return raw pointers are used in more than just Input.cpp and the deprecated wrappers as you'd mentioned.
As for whether using the take methods invalidate the reference count, I think we're arguing semantics. I do not consider a reference counted object to be properly reference counted if there are raw pointers to it being kept and used (performance critical situations excepted). I'm looking forward to a less intrusive tweak, that'd be great. Thanks for the responses!
