unless of course I bring it back...
Poul, put the f*cking axe away and consider that it costs almost no time
to
keep it there, and we do not know who is using it in 3.x and may want to
someday upgrade.
It's not costing anything where it is.
It's not as if it's holding back your next great leap forward or
anything.
If you really think no-one is using it then ask in -stable,
the home-aoutmation lists etc, the newsgroups and
all the places where REAL users hang out.. -current is almost by
definition the
WRONG place to ask. Then even if you get no answers, I'd almost say that
since
the cost of leaving it there is so low that the chances that someone may
WANT to use it in the Future is worth keeping it there.
Personally I haven't used my appendix for a while either.....
