What's the big deal? : : Because the network address families they supported are no longer : shipped, and thus they won't compile any more. : : Please, that isn't good enough to justify the cost. Stub them to : return errors. When they were removed, it was because no one was using them. However, now everyone is impacted by having to build new binaries. If this is the only reason, it seems that it would be better to stub them out (since no one will notice if no one is using them) and not bumpt the major rev of the shared libaries. Warner
