There are few reports because the change hasn't affected the dark majority yet. RC builds are used by a tiny fraction. There's a long tail of users still on 7.6, 7.4, 7.2, and 6.x. The whack-a-mole game needs only to be played once and the results shared among those relying on the abstractions. Was that route ever explored? The FTP discussion needs to be re-opened. And it will be, eventually. -- Kim-Ee
