Of course, and I can never back them up ;-)

Dieter obviously read the same stuff I did:

...maybe you could ask him where?

And of course there's the point you make:

...why was this change made if there was nothing wrong with PARENTS?

Now that said, I agree with you that there's not much documentation on
_why_ it was deprecated (if it was), and I can't find the discussions around the 
time
when I remember it being deprecated(if it was) (my memory tells me the 
discussions were over a year ago...), which is a shame.

Still, I have memories of REQUEST.steps, REQUEST.PARENTS and various Virtual 
Hosting discussions around the same time, so maybe you can research further and 
prove me wrong, since you seem to take pleasure from that.

cheers,

Chris
