Alex; we are talking about goals - some of them has eached, some of them not, but maybe in the future. LEAF works from home office to small office right now stable and with more features a usual user is asking for. We could even close down development and put everything in maintenance mode (only security fixes, providing support, improving docs) and most of LEAF users will be satisfied a long time. But some features already provided are mostly beyond this target audience - like zebra/quagga, your FWBuilder support and probably ipv6 (at least for the near future). On the other side there are members working on new ideas to make installation/configuration easier for home users. I believe moving any branch to support larger environments than small office is a _goal_, though we may fail :), like it is a goal to improve installation and configuration for SOHO users. kp ------------------------------------------------------- The SF.Net email is sponsored by EclipseCon 2004 Premiere Conference on Open Tools Development and Integration See the breadth of Eclipse activity.
