If you thought this was such a problem two versions ago, why didn't you 
file an ITS on it back then? Whining on the discussion list doesn't get 
problems resolved. If you've identified a specific weakness, but don't 
report it, you shouldn't be surprised that it doesn't get fixed sooner. 
You have only yourself to blame, for not filing the report.
