Actually Morm, you'll probably be surprised that I at least partially agree with you here.
You'll probably be surprised that I'm not really surprised :P
You see, I really understand what you were trying to do, and my only problem was, this is not the minecraft I knew, but it is not something brand new either, where I can follow a totally new way of playing. You just cleared it up in this thread that this hybrid is not really what you want. So no, I'm not really all that surprised. :]
Forced HC bucket did not make sense to me, in that I rather liked to have the freedom to do my contraptions the way I want to, traditionally, or, for the fun of it, with only natural water sources. So flipping around with the option on and off felt a bit pointless. I love playing with hc bucket mentality, but it goes against vMC feeling to be forced to. This is why I think BTW development has reached a point where it almost feels complete, and you can go on and do your own thing with btw2 ;]

Bring it on! :D
EDIT: oh, and I really feel your frustration man, I bet it feels kinda like having invented a new clean source of energy, and not being allowed to tell a single soul, while waiting for oil and coal reserves to dry out..
War..
War never changes.
