Maybe, maybe not, but that doesn't change the fact that d3d7 has most of the differences(with just d3d8+d3d9 all we'd have to change is the pointsizemin default value), and it doesn't make behavior flags scale better. (Of course adding a full sized system like a default stateblock for each problem doesn't scale either)
That's why I still think we should use behavior flags as a last resort, and use other problem specific ways where possible and reasonable. (an example for what's not reasonable: Clone the entire private data code in ddraw to avoid the AddRef - I clearly prefer a behavior flag for that)
