In today's world? Yeah, I think so. My only unhappiness has hinged around the possibility that a new storage scheme might temp folks to toss aside the sgmr abstraction, or weaken it. It doesn't appear that this will happen. Given an adequate sgmr abstraction, it doesn't really matter what low-level model is adopted in some sense (i.e. other models might become available, the implemented model might get replaced, etc - without breaking backends). Obviously we'll all be using the default model for some time, maybe forever, but if mistakes are made maintaining the smgr abstraction means that replacements are possible. Or kinky substitutes like working with DAFS. - Don Baccus, Portland OR <dhogaza@pacifier.com> Nature photos, on-line guides, Pacific Northwest Rare Bird Alert Serviceand other goodies at http://donb.photo.net.
