[Opensim-dev] Major issue with core code.

[Wade Schuette]

Just a note - While I agree entirely that the prim order should stay
constant for an object the user hasn't changed, as an application developer
I always start by polling  all linked prims to determine which one is which
number (today), and then work off that list.   Otherwise,  adding a single
new prim to the object, or unlinking it in order to resize or retexture a
prim that refuses to change when linked, will totally break the user script,
and is maddening.    With polling, I can unlink or relink or add pieces
whenever I feel like it and the code doesn't break.   The one extra step
only has to be written and debugged once and used as a utility subroutine
after that.   What WOULD kill it is if the root prim changed, of course.

And,  I developed that habit in Second Life, although it's totally crucial
in OpenSim since we have to keep unlinking complex objects in order to
change a stubborn linked prim that refuses to change while it is linked.
Why is THAT, by the way?  Can THAT be fixed?
