The intention of the new union type I believe was to modify a fork of XDR, not modify XDR itself. It can be argued whether or not we want to do that (but I've heard at least once before that we've already done that with afsUUID, so we're already working with an XDR fork), but that's the reason why it was being handled just in here. -- Andrew Deason [email protected] _______________________________________________ AFS3-standardization mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/afs3-standardization
