However, major updates and new features will only be added to the Design Extender product.
Sorry to be on at you about this, Jason, but can you clarify what that means? Do I need to own Design Extender in order to receive an updated version of Framework Builder or a new version of CSS Menu Writer 2 for example?
If Design Extender's aim is to address major complaints you keep getting for the installation of those 8 extensions, for those people that already own those 8 extensions, how is this not a bug fix? The extensions themselves aren't being updated, yet we're expected to fork out $40 for the privilege of a single installation file in order to get possible major updates and new features (which may or may not come at a cost).
