9 You are right except for the fact that virtual/mta will not be converted any
10 time soon (if ever). Old style virtuals allow their providers to block all
11 other providers by blocking the virtual. This isn't possible with the current
12 format for new style virtuals so it isn't going to happen. editor didn't need
13 that feature and thus could easily be converted...
