We talked about this before. If I remember correctly, you didn't disagree with me that the commands were racy, you said you code base was large and you didn't have time to figure out what you really needed. More and more unnecessary code is being added. Things are getting out of control. However, you'll notice that I did not just remove everything. With the new -force switch to ns_cache_eval, _set, _get, and _info can be trivially emulated in a couple of lines of Tcl, if you want that kind of racy behaviour.
Everything is of course still available via the C api, and I'd recommend taking a look at what your real requirements are and building accordingly. If it can be generalised, we can get it into the core. The timeout in the aolserver implementation refers to just the time waiting for a conn thread. I'm going to extend that to mean total time allowed for the conn to run. To get this working, Ns_Conn structs need to be allocated in driver.c, not queue.c as they are now. driver.c is looking a little scary...
By reading this i got an impression that i should expect in the future one day that CVS HEAD is completely re-written, all parts that you think are unnecessary or not correspond to your requirements are removed. And this can happen even without warning. Looks like you have big plans for all parts already. You should have asked us before removing parts that are in the source for several months already.
I would suggest for all of us to define how we do development and respect each others rights and ability to extend server.
