+	* tao/Strategies/DIOP_Factory.cpp:
+
+	  Changed the return value of requires_explicit_endpoint () to 0
+	  and documented that this return code is not reflecting that 
+	  the endpoints are not cleaned-up but that we disable it by default
+	  because DIOP is only suitable for certain use cases, e.g. it only
+	  supports one-ways.
