<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Nick, that is a good question. I
suspect even if the request were published for a vote, I wouldn't
know the implications of the change. But it is worthy of thinking
about. Perhaps it should take a second on the request before
implementing it, or make it available for testing before
committing to it. Is there no recourse to remove a feature if it
is later determined to be more grief than it is worth? Perhaps
other changes were made in the vicinity of this change that makes
reverting back to 4.2.3 implementation not practical. But in
hind-site to give the user an option is another alternative.<br>
I tested with 4.2.3 version of baseselector.py on 4.2.5 just to
see. It worked several times and then crashed. So apparently there
are other changes in the mix. <br>
Maybe one of our bright people on this forum will have a good
suggestion.<br>

Changes to the user interface are normally discussed on the development
list. If the change is large, an enhancement proposal (GEPS) will also
be written. In this case, I think the developer implementing the change
would have considered it to be minor. They almost certainly didn't
realise the performance implications for large databases.

Ultimately decisions are made by the administrators (Benny, Brian and
myself). However, Benny and Brian are not currently active, so I will
only get them involved if I need advice.
Getting the opinions of the user base is an interesting idea. How do you
suggest we do this?
Nick.
