This was planned all along, but it's good that you pointed it out as a necessary step. Bruce and I already had one marginally related conversation about this, and I'll be glad to wrap this topic up with him, or anyone else from re@ that needs more details. > 2. The issue of /etc/netstart should be addressed. Mike sent in one canidate for this already. If the people here who rely on netstart could give it a go, we'll commit it asap. I'm glad this issue was raised, and of course, if there is anything else missing, please let us know asap. The date I have in mind for the axe'ification is May 1. This will give people who haven't caught up on e-mail yet a chance to respond, and give us a few days (including the weekend) to fix anything else that needs fixing before the expected code freeze on 5/5. If re@ has any more concrete plans than that for the freeze, or would like to suggest an alternate date for removing rcOG, then I'm happy to reconsider this.
