(Get the code!)
I just wanted to thank Benjamin Drung for the PPA although I've not used it yet. Also just BTW my comment about being the only "subscriber" was accurate ATM and was actually meant to address what appeared to be Endolith's response to Stephan Muhs even though he hadn't bothered to subscribe.
After reading all of the responses here and at the forums I'd have to conclude that a policy change was needed. While the new policy may create some confusion the old "policy" (maybe should say "practice") had clearly been flawed for ages. For DVD users and flash drive users the old "policy" was undoubtedly flawed.
Now the challenge is to minimize the confusion as much as possible for the reasons I've pointed out previously. That's really beyond my capabilities, but I do recommend keeping the explanation as brief as possible. I would however recommend at least a brief mention in the Beta 1 release notes.
Kudos to all for taking on this challenge and my sincere apologies if I ruffled any feathers.
