I agree....I have no issue with that. The problem is that many of the hacks haven't been ported.

Yours all have - for which I am eternally grateful. But there are many that haven't and one is met with derision when requesting them.

There needs to be something coders agree to when they release their hacks here that say "if I mysteriously leave and someone wants to port my hack to a new version they can". I ported a hack that had like 30 installs. It is a nice hack; but I can't release it because the original owner just disappeared.

This issue *urgently* needs sorted, so that people like me can perform our upgrade without losing dozens of features.
