IMO, the options that server admins want (or at least I want) is what dan essentially says: to run without a daemon "managing" my network interface... it's just pure bloatiness and feel goodiness from this perspective. I don't want _another_ thing to have to diagnose when things go red alert on a bare bones server. So, we have that ability now. I'm happy. It sounds like this will always be the case, and if so, great. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
