It's the "useful" part that's missing in most of these cases. > I think you should ask the project teams.

It's not surprising or bad that they have useful information.

The content is stale, nobody's going to bother updating it, and it's at best misleading. That's why I want the DHCPv6 page gone. Not just archived, but gone -- removed. In an even worse state is the ethbridge page. It's actually harmful. > Frankly, we're spending to much time on this.

The whole point was to _delete_ them so they wouldn't have to be converted. If we're going to try for archival instead, then there's no point at all in pursuing what Jim Grisanzio has asked us to do. That *adds* work for the transition team; it doesn't remove it. -- James Carlson, Solaris Networking <[email protected]> Sun Microsystems / 35 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677 _______________________________________________ networking-discuss mailing list [email protected]
