I would like to get a little more understanding of what is "wrong" with the way scanners currently work for those who really dislike the new ones with Update 7, particularly as voiced by Unforgiven here.
Please clearly ID the problem as specifically as you can, and explain how/why it is bad.
Then, please clearly state your solution and explain how/why it is good compared to what we currently have.
(I apologize if any feel you've already done so, but I feel a lot may have already gotten lost in the debate process over 8 pages of text).
