I'm trying to understand how many installations are actually using DECnet in Linux / how big the potential problem is / will be.


This becomes an actual showstopper when the most recent hardware platform that will run the most recent Linux kernel to support DECNet becomes impossible to maintain.

In other words you'll probably want to put your DECNet bridge system behind a more current firewall fairly soon, but DECNet in current Linux distributions will not stop working then it's dropped from future versions.

  No offense, people, but the sky is not falling.
