I like the changes, too. The only thing that still hangs out there for me is whole 'F' in LEAF issue. I noticed that neither goal mentioned that the project is about developing firewalls. Some people think that all LEAF projects are meant to be routers/firewalls. Is that true? I could have sworn that it was about linux embedded appliances, but I guess that's not accurate. I posted that question in response to Serge's comments, "are all LEAF distros now and in the future firewalls?"
