So, I've been pondering this for an hour or so. As I mentioned in my
other mail, it was unintentional, but how much would people scream
at me if things stayed this way for FC3 ?

It's a bit of work to put it back the way it was in earlier FC3 kernels,
but it does mean pushing out yet another update to fix it.

Given people will have to adapt to the change for FC4 anyway, is it
going to cause huge amounts of pain to make the switch now ?

Opinions?
