RE: [Bodington-developers] Resource localisation code - in or out?

[Colin T. <col...@co...>]

Guess I'd better stick to my guns and say -2.
Sorry to sound unsupportive, I'm not -- it's just that I think we should
avoid adding any features that could possibly change in the near future,
leaving us stuck with the legacy and support. Sounds like there are some
issues still, like the tools.

I'm keen to get involved with resolving the issue for a future version, if
that helps...

Colin
