Why would that matter? If I need the MBS plugin, I need it for either version. >> I simply don't use 3rd party plugins. > > Are you opposed to 3rd party encrypted classes?

No, I'm sure Karen is opposed to the potential that we will select to use a plugin from a one person operations (no offense, Christian S.) and have that person decide to stop working on the plugin or not support the next version of RB. In that event, the users of the plugin are basically up the creek without a paddle. If a company is behind a plugin in a manner that we know that the plugin will continue, we don't have a problem paying for it. Luckily for me, Christian S has a wonderful track record and we continue to invest in his work each new year. But there are a number of plugins that have been abandoned or were very late making the move from one version of RB to another, or to a new platform (Linux, UB, etc.).
