How sad can you be? They can still easily find it online. Let's be honest, I'm not complaining that hard. It's not THAT important either way. I just dislike including 150 MB of developer stuff when I heavily suspect that 99% of users will never need it. (And I prefer FPC more than most, but it's just not crucial enough here.) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Site24x7 APM Insight: Get Deep Visibility into Application Performance APM + Mobile APM + RUM: Monitor 3 App instances at just $35/Month Monitor end-to-end web transactions and take corrective actions now Troubleshoot faster and improve end-user experience.
