I don't think Doug was really being holier than thou, Shannon, and I
think his response is a little more tempered than a lot of the comments
in this thread.

The point about the Memo to Users is VERY important.  And while it seems
pretty clear to me that the section marked Operating System contains the
changes that would impact programs, I'd like to see a separate document
with bright red borders entitled "RELEASE INCOMPATIBILITIES".  Eclipse
has just such a document in their APIs, where they outline issues as
well as provide solutions.

Anyway, it's a fix to a serious security problem and I think they
handled it relatively well.
