First of all my appoligies for the snarky comment at the end, that was uncalled for. Then I also seemed to have made my point poorly. It wasn't my intention to "move the goalpost", I just wanted to point out that some options in TF2 are more easily configured than others. The options that can be set through the menus don't really give anyone an unfair advantage in my opinion, since any idiot can set them. But changing cvars through scripts does give some (minor) advantage to a smaller group of players and more importantly (because that's what started this whole discussion in the first place) can be used to sort of cheat.
Anyway, the point is moot now, since I just read the latest release notes for TF2: - Updated the network interpolation and update convars so they can be changed when dead. So it seems you got what you wanted and for the record, I too think this is a more elegant solution than the quick fix Valve rolled out earlier. Kudos to Valve for changing this so quickly.
