Obviously, netatm will remain in the revision control history should anyone wish to ressurect it after that date. However, I suspect that those interested in ATM on FreeBSD have long since been using Harti's netgraph ATM framework.

Somehow the dates slipped pasted more quickly than I had hoped -- this is the HEADS UP that, on a slightly delayed schedule, I will be trimming netatm from the src tree for HEAD, and then a week or two later, from RELENG_7. Assuming all goes well, this should result in no functional change at all.

Per the long-announced schedule, netatm has now been removed from the CVS HEAD. Assuming no unexpected problems, it will likewise be removed from RELENG_7 in a few weeks. I apologize in advance if there's any build disruption; this touched a lot of Makefiles, and while netatm hasn't been connected to the build in ten months, there is always a risk of problems with a change of this scope. I'll keep an eye out for tinderbox warnings and correct as quickly as possible if any arise.

Thanks,
