Do we have any means by which we can determine what our user base is for each platform? What percentage of our users are currently floundering due to having gtk+ support dropped for their platform? Is it worthwhile to try to bring our legacy users along with us? It's always a good idea to keep our eye on our historic users, but we have to draw the line somewhere. I believe that Microsoft expects their users to upgrade in less than 5 years. I have it first hand that MS is officially no longer developing on pre-NT platforms. I think this is reason enough to no longer maintain support for <= win98. You've got my vote on all counts, Tor. Let's clean up the codebase. Cheers, C.J.
