I have no problem distributing stage2's if everyone wants a crippled place to start from, but this talk of removing base net scripts makes no sense to me. It interferes with nothing. It blocks nothing. It takes almost no space at all. There is zero downside to keeping it. Until such time as someone tells me an actual downside to having netifrc in the stage3 I will be reverting any change which removes it as critical breakage. You will know when this statement no longer holds when I specifically state that on this mailing list that I agree, netifrc is a problem and needs to be removed. Until then, please, the bike shed is green. - -Zero > Once that is done, we could easily add it to @system then I would drop > the netifrc use flag.
