Why do you think we have had to install SemjaZa's decrypts in previous versions of OSx86? Decrypts are decrypted versions of the encrypted binaries.

 

This is neither news nor a problem because the encrypted binaries have been regularly decrypted.

Note though, semjaza didn't show up until 10.4.6. We've been using maxxuss' original decrypts for .4.4 & .4.5, and some versions of .4.6..
