That makes sense - thank you.

I sort of remember that the core CLR didn't really rev that much, in that it spent the longest time on 2.x, with only the data access technologies built on top changing what seemed like every other week. LINQ was the next nice additive.

I don't recall exactly why now, but I know that the term 'strong naming' can still instill terror in me. I guess that all goes away if you can distribute a statically linked lump per app. The cycle continues..
