That's part of it. Besides the notice (not sure where that is), the actual removal itself must be reviewed by the ARC and likely would have to explain either why there's no more third party software left that would be affected or why we needn't care. That might be difficult. -- James Carlson, KISS Network <james.d.carlson at sun.com> 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
