[platform-team-dev] RE: what are the Platform plans for Team/FTP?

I really like the synchronize view for file transfer.

I /especially/ like how I can currently have one project "synchronized"
with both a Subversion repository AND a remote server via SFTP/FTP.

I just wanted to share how deeply grateful I am to be able to do this,
and would like the powers that be to know that I really hope not to lose
this ability as the Team API progresses/evolves.

And I really like the synchronize mentality vs. "mapped drive"
mentality.  But I said that already. =]

The Team API is getting sweet.	Thanks.
