There is definitely some useful work that can be done in the management/configuration area und to improve the upgrading process (separate config and data) Even maintenance mode needs quite some work, just to compile new packages from new software releases. > 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. Moving to larger environments is one thing, but the enterprise is and IMHO will remain beyond the reach of LEAF, because a big firewall has enough space for a current distro. Eventually a fully open source Linux firewall will be ready for the enterprise, probably because a hardware vendor wants to attack the Nokia/Checkpoint Combo. But it will hardly be based on LEAF.
