You misunderstand. The mechanism for accessing (and switching) identities has always been in the Database Daemon.
The Database Utility has always been the only way to interact with the Daemon. They have removed one layer of complexity by moving the UI out of the main application. Because so few people use it (and they gauge this by extensive user focus groups and testing), I believe they, on balance, felt the additional complexity was an acceptable trade off for the additional stability and reduced testing. Note: I have no inside knowledge of this - it is all my own speculation based on comments I have seen and heard. -- >From the iPad of Barry Wainwright On 5 Oct 2010, at 12:28, William Lane <[email protected]> wrote: > > On 10-Oct-5, at 01:11: 19, Barry Wainwright wrote: > >> I think you are mistaking 'effect' for 'intent'. >> >> They didn't deliberately make it more inconvenient, they simply moved it out >> of the main body of the programme into the database utility (which is the >> app that does the donkey work anyway). >> >> This will have the _effect_ of reducing the risk of introducing bugs >> (without a user interface, the Database Utility app is much simpler), making >> it easier to test and a little more difficult to find. >> >> That last bit is the effect of the move - I'm sure it was not the intent of >> the move > > > They can move the 'mechanism' wherever they wish, but why on earth move the > GUI?
