Sometime after you change the documentation, I would suggest changing lamwipe to detect when it is called as wipe and writting a warning to stderr. That would break a few weird scripts, but should help push people towards using lamwipe and reduce the screaming when you finaly kill it off. At the very least, you can tell the people who complain that you've been warning them for X month/years. -- Brooks
