Yes and that was never merged and so was resent on January 19th, 2006: http://www.nabble.com/-2.6-patch--schedule-SHAPER-for-removal-t949871.html At that point people debated about it being too short notice and the patch never went in. I therefore think we can't just remove with NO notice. Ian -- Web: http://wand.net.nz/~iam4/ Blog: http://iansblog.jandi.co.nz WAND Network Research Group
