I think it's reasonable to do this, now that all of the drivers are up to date (at least all of the public drivers). If this breaks something out there, it will be minor and as Jani says, easy to fix. You might leave the interface in the CDL and make it an error if it is ever "implemented". That way we'd catch the problem as soon as possible. -- Gary Thomas MLB Associates -- Before posting, please read the FAQ: http://sources.redhat.com/fom/ecos and search the list archive: http://sources.redhat.com/ml/ecos-discuss
