Is there anybody out there using netns (aka XNS aka `options NS')?

We would like to remove it from the distribution, as it has little
practical value.  We kept it for this long on the reasoning that,
because IPX/SPX is close to XNS' IDP/SPP, it would help someone
implement IPX compatiblity.  Someone has now done so, and this last
reason has gone away.

Unless someone else is both currently using this code /and/ willing to
maintain it for us (which includes at a minimum eliminating the kernel
compilation warnings), it will be nuked in a day or so.

Speak now or forever hold your peace!
