So it's Project Private > So may I know why can't it be > It certainly can't be Uncommitted (the interface taxonomy) at the same time [*] as being Project Private. If you just mean that you don't commit to keeping this compatible, then that is implied by Project Private. In that case using the word "uncommitted" next to an interface taxonomy is at least bound to cause confusion.

Reread the interface taxonomy: "Uncommitted" is a public stability and means that you actually commit to not break the interface in patches or ("micro") updates. >>> Imported Interfaces >>> ------------------- >>> SUNWapache2 >>> SUNWgd2 >>> >>> Not An Interface -------------------- >>> /etc/nagios -- cfg files are copied here >>> /etc/nagios/objects -- cfg files are copied here >> >> Who copies cfg files here?
