It would be less confusing for newbies, at the cost of forcing everybody who has already written backup scripts or other interact-with-running-bitcoin tools to tweak their code. The coding will be easy, but do you really want to spend the time to answer all the "I installed Bitcoin X.Y and now my backup script doesn't work" questions and modify the wiki pages and ... I'd rather that time be spent working on any remaining build issues so we can switch to bitcoin-qt. I don't care if it is autotools or qmake or QT creator, I just care that it works on Windows and Linux under gitian and has clear instructions so I can build it on my Mac. -- -- Gavin Andresen
