In ARC terms "Obsolete" means that we don't want any new projects building atop this interface, and that we'll likely have a better mechanism available in the future. It's not terribly unusual to have "born Obsolete" interfaces. These often represent stop-gap measures. It doesn't say anything at all about the age of the interface. In fact, that's an important distinction between ARC process and other open software projects: age alone isn't usually used as a distinction. It's at least as important (if not more so) to know what's promised about the interface. -- James Carlson, KISS Network <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sun Microsystems / 1 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677 _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
