If libalias changes to libnat, I'd prefer to just change the ppp flag
to -nat, update the ppp version to 2.1 and update
src/usr.sbin/ppp/README.changes, otherwise I'll be running around
with the crud forever.
But this isn't necessarily a good idea as it may attract a pile of
``why the hell did you break my configuration for no good reason''
messages.
Anyone with any strong opinions on this ?
Of course it's not guaranteed that libalias will change to libnat,
there's another thread starting on -hackers about that :-) It's also
possible to change the ppp flag, even if libalias isn't renamed.
