Probably just as well.  While Rev's socket performance is pretty good, 
some have reported better performance in other languages.  Anything we 
can do to maintain efficiency with connections seems well worth the 
effort, certainly if the only cost is to make sure one's using the right 
MC IDE with the right version (and there's only a few dozen of us so 
it's a very small matter).
