I would argue that the majority of people already have 3.1 installed and
don't need the full download. I certainly wouldn't want to get the whole
3.1e just to fix the bump_map problem. Perhaps you could make the
executable-only version a more difficult to access, so people would get
to it only when they really want it.
BTW, were there many who bitched you about it? Just interested as to how
commonplace stupidity is within our species...
