Hi, Personally, I don't think many people will use 1.4 & 10.9 (I assume that's what we're talking about). Re CDC - It seemed interesting a number of years ago, now? On the one hand, it would be nice if we could wholehartedly go for 1.5 & further. On the other hand, CDC support is nice to have in theory... I guess it depends on if anyone's using it. I seems to me the people I had interested in it seem to have lost interest in the combination CDC/Derby... I wonder where the project is going in the first place, does anyone know? I do worry that if we drop (raise to 1.5?) the 1.4 threshold, the CDC support immediately falls down too... Myrna
