I know we are used to dealing in internet-time, where things happen instantly, but there could be many reasons that the host count is only 1612. Reasons that have nothing to do with the specific outcome of how these security issues are handled. I am certainly all for the improvements people have been talking about. I'm just saying that even if you make all those improvements, you're probably going to have to wait a few weeks before we see any significant number of hosts show up. That's just the way it is. -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@gilead.netel.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih@rpi.edu
