To be perfectly honest, do we NEED bukkit to play mine craft? We wait 3-4 weeks before we get our protection plugins. Big whoop. Yes, I am aware of the rogue griefer, but so far the things they have done have been nothing more than the equivalent of somebody stealing a paperback book.

Lockette and faction claims do give pretty good security/peace of mind, but there's nothing saying that's absolutely necessary. I would slightly prefer it but after I've heard what other people think I'll make up my mind.
