I am going over the book with grep. The problems are these: 1) crud checks permission, SQLFORM does not. 2) crud is used in welcome 3) in chapter 13 we say plugins can rely on crud.
So on a second thought we cannot easily remove it form the book. I will remove some examples to avoid using crud. I will provide examples of how to enforce permissions with SQLFORM without using crud. I add a notice at the beginning of the crud chapter to suggest using SQLFORM instead of crud. We cannot remove it from welcome app because plugins require it. Therefore we cannot remove it from book quote yet. I am not too happy about this but I cannot think of a better solution.
