Default Re: X-Cart and PCI-DSS / PA-DSS compliance

We have been looking into this and what it appears like to me is that all versions of x-cart are not and can not be PCI-DSS compliant. The reason for this is that in x-cart you have the option to store credit card information, and this is a BIG no-no. Even if there is a "upgrade patch" it can be circumvented so that credit card information can still be stored.

For this reason, version 5 must not have the option to store credit card information and be developed in such a way that it never can store credit card information in order to be PCI-DSS compliant.

X-cart absolutely needs to make a "database upgrade patch" that works 100% correctly 100% of the time to convert older carts to version 5. Most people can handle re-designing their site if need be, but retaining their data is of the utmost importance.

Am I wrong about this?
