That's fine, from Linden Labs side, but there are developers who WANT  
a legally binding change before they'll accept the agreement.  For  
example, whether LL can publicly release personally identifiable  
information about a developer without giving that developer the option  
of withdrawing their viewer from the TPV page instead. At the moment,  
LL is reserving the option of changing the information listed in the  
TPV page at will. Why would that be so hard a concession to make?
