thanks. I am glad to have the type=auto option in 6.5, it is a useful
addition.

maybe it is being a bit too strict with the no-changes to the module
interface in a stable release rule, but then we can't guarantee that
someone isn't aware of + relying on the old default=lines in a script,
so the best we can do is avoid as many backwards-incompatibilities as we
can and make the trunk version contain the ideal way. Plus this way we
can claim the new release is backwards-compatible without fine print.


cheers,
