You know this already, but hey, this is a mailing list and there's more than one person reading: One of the defining attributes of a Consolidation-Private interface is that changes to the interface can be managed within that software consolidation without affecting untold numbers of unknown consumers outside of the consolidation. Use of these interface by 3rd parties in this way would have a high likelihood of resulting in broken software as experienced by end-users. -Seb _______________________________________________ networking-discuss mailing list [email protected]
