In what context? If (and that is still a big if) someone merges libsocket/libnsl into libc, then that means that libsocket and libnsl will continue to exist but as filter libraries. cf libthread/pthread/rt >Given that we need something in the filesystem space for application >backward compatibility, are we just bloating the filesystem? The same number of files would continue to be delivered, but the socket/nsl libraries would by tiny. >As for the pain it'll cause developers everywhere who target Solaris... >Well, life is never easy in software, we'll just curse and swear some >more about an arbitrary change that doesn't really make things >better or worse...(this type of thing happens everywhere.) Even if it's slow, sandpaper is one way to lower the barrier to entry.
