While this is all great, and I do like the idea of XML import and

core at this point. Why? Because of the security issues. People
upgrading from 2.0.4 or previous directly to 2.1 still have the old,
vulnerable backup plugin. Most people won't know its even been dropped
because you are instructed not to delete anything in your wp-content
folder on upgrade. And no, I do not think that instructing users to
get rid of the backup plugin is enough, it adds more complexity to the
upgrade docs and nobody would listen anyways.

Hi Robert,

There is a 2.0.5 release planned that I understand addresses the known
issues at this time.

How does leaving what sounds to be a mostly unmaintained plugin in 2.1
solve any problems either?

Thank you,
Lloyd
