Hmm, according to my error logs, the most requested components at my site are /winnt/system32/cmd.exe and /htdocs/scripts/root.exe. Couldn't resist. ;-) Good point about which components to consider, though-- may be able to make many folks happy with minimal disturbance. Some sites run an "experimental, at your own risk" server with some extras, for their most vocal customers. Putting the double handful of whingers there can often be simpler than losing their business, though admittedly it doesn't scale for very large providers.
