[Opensim-dev] Updating Datasnapshot

[Drew Hart]

I think this is one of those philosophical questions - without diminishing
what others have done - does it matter - I always vote for progress and
clean code over backwards compatibility.  Let's say one plugin is using it,
would it be worth keeping it in because of that - though I totally
understand giving notice for those to update.  This probably came across as
harsh and I don't mean it to be - sorry.
