my suggestion, as i know it, would *not* break HIS, it depends on the details. just as it is done with the idle time, a normal whois would say "is away", and a remote whois would say "is away: blah". but for any away user, there needs to be sent an away token on burst. how about the umode problem, it still needing nicks, or has that been fixed already?
