Boy, the lengths some people go to "protect" a previously-stated 'position' - the one that SPs for VFP will be ONLY for fixes!

MS (the VFP Team) said the SP contained "enhancements". MS (the VFP Team) put a section in the README titled "improvements. . ." and you can still concoct a story that this was viewed by MS as a "bug".

What it looks like to us is what it is - an enhancement! I personally don't care what they might call it internally, if that's what it takes to get enhancements into SPs for VFP.

It was an odd 'policy' when it was stated and if the VFP Team has "seen the light", that's a good thing, not a bad thing. Ask yourself, what other MS SPs are strictly for fixes? Any that I've seen always include enhancements and new features.
