Agreed I just wanted to point it out. I was mainly a bit concerned with 
how converted devs might look at it. I don't know what most users think, 
but I know when I saw WAS needed a feature pack to do what I was doing I 
just would skip it unless I really needed it. The WAS feature packs were 
usually huge and I never liked the way they applied.

That said, it's also a positive being the same name for converts as they 
know what it means.
