Still I'd like to fix what we have now, than not to > have a useful feature. A question was raised about named.conf, so I answered it. A question was raised about why I don't like/use Obsolete, so I answered it. At no point did I say "don't work on Obsolete." That said, my concern about this is the same as my concern about effort being placed into other less-than-desirable solutions. 1. The effort could be better placed elsewhere 2. The fact that $SOMEONE is working on $SOMETHING gives people a warm fuzzy feeling that has a tendency to diminish the urgency towards putting real fixes to real problems. So once again, I'm not saying "don't do it." But since someone actually asked for my opinion ... :) Doug -- This .signature sanitized for your protectionReceived on Tue May 29 2012 - 02:20:25 UTC
