Of course some Home stack or another will still be need to be present 
for licensing, but the one we're all currently will need to be replaced 
at some point with the next license change so any changes you might have 
made to it now will be lost at that time.

Also, once FlipsIDE goes final there may be some who prefer the simpler 
setup and since it runs MC with Rev's license stack it may not be wise 
to store custom props there, since we can't rely on any features of 
other people's stuff remaining in place indefinitely.

The upside for what Klaus is working on is that it's generally 
considered the right thing to do:  both HIGs strongly suggest it, and in 
circumstances where the current user may not be an administrator it may 
be the only way to have prefs stored reliably between sessions.
