SQL-DMO Removed from SQL Server 2008 Express

I've installed the new July CTP of SQL Server 2008 (Katmai) and found this in the Readme:

SQL Server Database Management Objects (SQL-DMO) has been removed from SQL Server 2008 Express.
We recommend that you modify applications that currently use this feature as soon as possible.
If you need to support SQL-DMO for SQL Server Express, install the Backward Compatibility
Components from the SQL Server 2005 feature pack from the Microsoft Download Site. Do not
use SQL-DMO in new development work; use SQL Server Management Objects (SMO) instead. You can
refer to the SMO documentation by installing SQL Server 2005 Books Online.

I figure that some people would rather know this sooner than later.
