No, I haven't given up on those changes, but I've postponed merging them until after Chuck finishes testing his "transport switch". The latter is the abstraction layer that is expected to take us beyond the single udp/tcp socket paradigm so that we can add IPv6, infiniband, and multipathing. IOW it touches fairly heavily on the code in xprt.c. btw, we're aiming to have that code ready for testing at Connectathon, so if any of you are going to be attending, we can perhaps discuss this subject there?
