This one comes up from time to time... It was mentioned a couple of times that 
some old but still functional Novell file servers have that limitation and if 
MSI dropped supporting it, it would be impossible to install those packages 
from those network servers. Probably a moot point for all but a dozen people on 
the planet but Windows has always been plagued with backward compatibility 
constraints far too long...
