I'm none too happy with the INJ/REM business.
Case in point: making ERC enabled conforming clothes for V4.0 was dead easy. But the ERC slaving breaks in V4.2, and I haven't found a way to reenable it yet.
If the .cr2/.pz2 file format evolves to make ERC possible again, chances are that it'll break stuff. Case in point: The Tailor 1.5. Throws a fit when it encounters a .cr2 entry it doesn't recognize.
Which is sloppy coding IMO - as long as the basic operation of Poser figure doesn't change, cr2 entries like visibleInRaytracing should just be ignored by The Tailor (but included again when the resulting cr2 is written out to disk again).
Future-proof programming requires some serious thought. It can be done, within limits, but it's not easy. Still, the fact that many utilities are NOT future-proof should not be a reason to stop development of the base application!
The pen is mightier than the sword. But if you literally want to have some impact, use a typewriter
