Could that be classed as client modification?
no i dint did a modification on permissions for a user account in my own OS win 7 is not owned/developed by CCP
If i was a dev wanting to screw with you i would write:
You remotely modified a client by not allowing it to do what it was supposed to do.
Or I could just add it to the manifest so that it's validated at startup...

Not funny. 
In fact, a rather appalling display of either ignorance or callous disregard for the wishes of your clients.
Someone just found a solution to a problem you people apparently couldn't (or wouldn't) solve, but which has been asked for by quite a few people over the last year, and you joke about it and implicitly threaten people who would want to make use of this improvement. What's next? Are you going to make the removal of cached files and logs an offence?
How about you guys just take the hint and start giving people the options they want for how they want to play the gameā?
I was trying to add some brevity to the discussion, but since you can't please everyone all the time, I'll go back to my bridge and simply not engage at all 
As for whether we should or not Incarna can be optional, well that's a corporate decision that's made by people higher up the food chain than me. I just don't want people mucking about with the stuff files, because when it inevitably comes to patching, 6 months down the line, someone will come to these forums complaining that they can't patch after they chose to voluntarily delete that file.
Forcing it into the manifest is most definitely not an ideal solution since the file has to be checksummed at start-up, and checksumming the entire game client is a lengthy process since it's ~8-9GB in size.

Actually, could you please remove the start.ini from the manifest?
I'm behind a firewall, and it would be easier for me to change the file, and not using some workaround to reach the eve server.
Thanks in advance.
Why do you need to modify it?
