Please, before it's too late, can we just use Strings in a PackageInfo's preamble/post scripts? Currently they are StringHolders, which is a Bad Idea.
I was bitten by this because I tried out the script button in Monticello, and even though I closed the editor without accepting the postscript was stored, saved with a package, so everyone else got a walkback when trying to load that package in an older MC version. Sure, we could fix this while still retaining the StringHolders in there, but why? I'd prefer a clear separation of data and interface.
Nasty. We should definitely use Strings. Michal, was there a reason for the StringHolders?
I suspect it was just thoughtless copying of code from ChangeSet.
