I should be able to support/improve UNIX domain sockets moving forward without a problem -- the maintenance issue is maintaining it in P4 indefinitely, not in the tree indefinitely, as the patch basically touches every line in the file, so any change in the vendor branch (FreeBSD CVS) will put the entire file into conflict. To be specific: I'll track and own this, but want to avoid having it in P4 indefinitely, because it will get stale :-). Robert N M WatsonReceived on Thu May 11 2006 - 15:58:51 UTC
