I have mixed feeling about this.

On one hand, there is definitely a point for improving the framework's modu=
larity and split it in several normal rsl, but from my experience, several =
of the users of applications I've built, especially in the corporate/health=
care area, like to clean browser cache at the end of the day in an effort t=
o eliminate any history that would reveal where they've been in the interew=
ebs. I know this sound stupid, but it happens, so having the framework prot=
ected in a different cache system would make sense.

You could argue that in a medium to large application, the framework should=
 be that much of a burden to be downloaded with the rest of the application=
's infrastructure, but there is definitely a use case for a protected frame=
work cache.

I agree with Roland in respect to the fact that Adobe will not easily sign =
a framework they're not fully in control. I wish we and they could find som=
e sort of workaround for this, but it looks bleak, at best.

As I said, mixed feelings. I guess I'll be happy with whichever result come=
s out of this, but if there is no workaround for the secure rsl for the fra=
mework, I think someone should concentrate on that modularity stuff.

Regards,
Rui
