Another interesting factoid is that DECB 1.0 has serious bugs that can
even lead to data loss. I had occasion to look at the differences
between 1.0 and 1.1 a while back and some of the bugs were really nasty.
Basically, if anyone out there is still using DECB 1.0, you really
should upgrade to DECB 1.1 (or one of the derivatives of it). There is
no benefit to staying with 1.0 and a lot of potential advantages to
moving to 1.1.
