- An interesting rumor, and like most of them, untrue. Triggers *were*
- scheduled for inclusion in 5.0, but there was not enough time to finish
- coding and testing them and still make the 5.0 release date. As a result,
- they were pulled out of 5.0 long before they even reached the "coded"
- state. As such, I really don't think you could have called them "unstable".
