Fair call, and thanks for doing this housekeeping.

No.
  I suspect that as bug reports come in, I will have to replicate those in 
managed mode installations. However, I am hoping that the power of open 
source will help here - where many eyes will make the bugs shallow. With 
this view in mind, I tried to make my code as readable as possible, and 
make the descriptive file as helpful as possible.
