Clear?  First I've heard of it.  Of course it would have been a whole 
lot easier if you had said "no, we're not going to backport the 
DirectData support to 0.14 because 0.15 will be out within a week to 
address this issue"  But instead you said "no, upgrade to CVS".  That is 
what upsets me.  What I see as snide comments instead of helpful 
information.  Still, all of this information would be more useful posted 
to the website where everyone can see it.
