Hey George,

Sorry for the delay, was on vaca.

I agree, looking at the source of that file, it has always just been a series of class definitions, calling it directly would do nothing.

Since May 2010, that file also has protections against calling it directly. Calling this not a vuln, and retiring the BID.
