Omgwtfpwnz0r! Uh, how often do you run DU? Do those 5 or 10 messages really cause a problem? I'd rather Apple fix real issues then work on stupid things that merely add a few extra lines of text in the output of a utility you use to repair permissions generally only after an update!
How about they fix the kernel performance issues that make Apple servers unsuitable for any kind of decent deployment short of buying 5x the hardware you'd need with any other server os? I could name a dozen other minor/major issues, but a few lines of informational text missing in a rarely-used process doesn't exactly seem very *important* if you know what I mean.

Well how about not being a total clown and using an OS that is truly designed for those operations - maybe Solaris, AIX or whatever tickles your carriage. I bet you've been hassling oracle for a BeOS port of 10g too. Once again your priorities arent indicative of the majority of OS X's usage cases...primarily it is a desktop multimedia OS not a transactional behemoth.

"Disk Utility's repair permissions feature will no longer report "We are using special permissions for..." messages."
Awesome.
