Hi helix84, Apologies, there were some discussions but I've just checked my emails and realise they were not copied to any list but just between Hardy, myself and Tim. The history is that Hardy was in the process of decommissioning the LNI module for version 5 on the assumption that nobody actually used it. It was mentioned in a weekly developer meeting at which point I intervened and asked if it could stay as we do make use of it. We have a product called PURE from Elsevier that talks to DSpace using the LNI. We spoke to Elsevier and there is one other site that has the same set up in place. A compromise was agreed that the LNI would stay but be made optional for version 5 with the expectation that it would be dropped for version 6. That having been said, I completely agree that there should be a public consultation before dropping it completely.
Cheers, Robin.

I don't remember us talking about dropping it (confirmed by a quick search in IRC logs). I don't see a reason to drop something that we have that is a standard (WebDAV). In any case, this would be a good time for LNI users to speak up.
