I think it was because they were changing how plug-ins worked with NS 6, and this was considered "legacy" and "enterprise". Since there would be new plug-ins(I think mostly for windows), it would not be *quite* as relevant. And since the issue was only with what was considered "multi-user systems" it was not considered as high a priority, since they saw that as an issue that would only apply in an admisistered environment, preventing users from installing personal plug-ins. I know someone (one of the developers) posted it as a bug. You can check bugzilla for more info (or to see how good my memory is ;). -- Brian Ashe CTO Dee-Web Software Services, LLC.
