And what have you done to replace it?  You should have bloody well
LEFT IT ALONE until you had written the replacement.  (You certainly
haven't demonstrated that it somehow was never useful or necessary.)

You sent me one comment, about it being too complex for you.  You have
not sent me a single USEFUL reply, and so far as I can tell, nobody
else has even bothered to look at it.  (For the record, that was:
<URL:http://halloran-eldar.lcs.mit.edu/wollman/devconf-req.html>.)
This is not, by the way, a ``document about a replacement'', it's a
document describing what problem such a replacement needs to solve.
Having been burned once, I have no intention of actually /writing/
that replacement; I'll stick to my networking and leave device
configuration up to you and Justin.
