I am not sure which hardening features we'll have enabled by default, though. We're likely to avoid those with non-negligible performance impact. Thank you for your feedback / request. It is very helpful for us to know what direction the current and prospective Owl users would like the project to evolve in. AlexanderReceived on Sun Jun 13 2010 - 22:47:10 PDT
