Yeah, if we're going to do it, lets do it right rather than hack stuff together. If I just piled on all the hacks people want, we'd all be crushed under their weight by now :) Thus, the tradeoff between waiting a bit longer for your feature, and having it implemented more cleanly so that next year NM isn't a piece of crap. I do now have a Netscreen to test against, so you can expect that additional NM-vpnc features that I implement are tested against the Netscreen. Thus, this bug will probably get fixed sooner rather than later.
