Yes.

Defaults makes use of unlockBindings to change loaded package 
namespaces.  That's no longer allowed by CRAN.

So, we'll need to modify getSymbols to not require it.

The old chartSeries uses it too, but we'll be replacing that soon, so 
I'm not worried about that dependency.

Regards,

Brian
