Well I sort of used Junos, as you know during my tenure I threaded the JUNOS kernel for our platform and did some interesting realtime-ish tweaks. Unfortunately did not spend a lot of time in userland or using the box in the role of a customer. >> How many programs have been successfully converted over to libxo at this >> point? > How is that relevant to any of this discussion? > Well, it speaks towards the vision of getting this done in a timely manner. As I said there is a GSOC project that has a ton of code already done. If this libxo is ready to go in, it should go in and we should get towards converting more utils to using it. However if we are going to perpetually add frameworky things, but not convert over userland tools to the actual framework, then that is a potential problem worth calling out. -Alfred
