While I'm on the subject, is there anywhere I can request some errata be put out on this? The FAQ stating this was a known issue was posted back in March, and no word of it has come up since. It seems like it would be a pretty quick and easy fix. They could do anything from adding a golem/homunculus making discovery, giving the alchemist animate object and permanency formulas, or simply counting the alchemist as having caster levels. Even an archetype that allowed creation of golems and homunculus would be helpful. After the carrion crown module and the serpents skull players guide, there is already RAW material supporting this fix, and from the multiple posts I've read, there are at least a few people who'd really like to see it happen.
