No, it screws up the quality of the codebase if it cannot be tested and used every day, and I doubt Terry will be doing real testing. HOWEVER, I am willing to keep netns working if someone can provide a pure XNS with IP-over-XNS provider. Playing around using multiple FreeBSD boxen with a possibly broken but interoperable implementation is also out of the question, as nobody uses it. For things that people actually use, it's OK as prototyping fixes and getting them in tree, and then the users can find where it's broken later. -- juli mallett. email: jmallett@freebsd.org; aim: bsdflata; efnet: juli; To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
