Now, we have had participation from few people, and there doesn't seem to be consensus. So, to make it clear, I didn't *choose* to disrespect it, I chose to respect how I perceived the community input. If this makes you truly disappointed, please ask more people to give their input, and I'll gladly steer the direction of this humble ship, I mean, patch series. :) Regards, - Cleber.
