VS2005 SP1 - bloat in the Solution (.sln) file

Just ran across this, when adding a new file to a Visual Studio 2005 solution, now the solution gets all these additional entries for each project:

ProjectSection(WebsiteProperties) = preProject
      Debug.AspNetCompiler.Debug = "True"
      Release.AspNetCompiler.Debug = "False"
EndProjectSection

And these are not even web site projects, just regular DLLs (Class Library) projects used from a Web Application Project (WAP).

What is going on? Looks like this was a "feature" introduced with SP1. At least I am not the only one seeing this.


Call me old fashioned, but I don't like it ...
