The packages were removed due to shortage of space apparently. So I do not think there is anything really to be maintained. Again nobody is going to ever consider removing rp-pppoe from RHEL.. The new spin would be just the original + 2-3 packages in repos. Also rp-pppoe has no new dependencies. Do you have any statistics on how people use dsl/ADSL in different countries? Along these lines: By plain bridge protocol, Through USB modems, Through routers + ethernet Through routers + two layers of firewall +ethernet Bridges + more advanced h/w I think at least 50% of the home users in India must be using the bridge protocol on cheaper adsL modems and adsl routers cum modems.
