Is there any advantage to using newnet over oldnet? If there aren't any advantages, we should not attempt to support it (even as an optional feature). Old-net by default, no use-flag for newnet; people can use EXTRA_ECONF if they *really* want to use it. -- ~Nirbheek Chauhan Gentoo GNOME+Mozilla Team
