Web sites are applications and generally spaghetti apps that have things cobbled together from lots of sources. As they grow overtime it is easy to get a security mess or at least hard to turn off sections that are security scoped unless you designed it for that in the beginning. Anyone who has worked with enterprise software knows how these things can become a mess that is ignored until critical events occur. Anyone who has built software over time knows that complexity and fragility grow as software grows and evolves. Sometimes you have to start over with architecture even if it ends up looking the same at the interface level. Design patterns help, but eventually feature changes that are not part of wholistic design result in Frankenstein software. Ecosystems do introduce dependencies. Give it a rest. Let them fix things. You are not alone. Everyone is affected. If you have a truly truly urgent update that needs to go out, contact them. Complain only to the guy in Turkey who caused this without reaching out to them directly and professionally. His choice of actions caused your grief. He could have handled things very differently. He did not. _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
