I didn't say you objected to it. I just said that you argued that it was OK for it to not land in the same release as the rest of the API, because drgn could paper over that gap. Which seems to me to signify a dangerous way of thinking, and I wanted to raise the alarm about that. (If you _don't_ see what's wrong with that argument... well, that'd be even _more_ alarming. Debuggers — and fuser, for that matter — are for when things go wrong _in ways the designers of the system failed to anticipate_. They should not be part of a 'normal' work- flow for dealing with problems that we already _know_ are possible; it's kinda-sorta like how exceptions shouldn't be used for non- exceptional situations.) -ed
