This would cause nothing but major confusion to many users. If we ship 2.2 without a root.flp, we need a `quarantine' period so we can use this name for something different as early as 2.3 again. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
