No but you did. That's why I'm asking. My "would" above is
subjunctive.
What I'm asking, is *if* the license had already been changed, *would*
you have implemented qpsmtpd via XS rather than rewriting qmail-smtpd
entirely.
Some people have previously proposed, on the list, rewriting all of
qmail in perl. I am asking if you think that makes sense, based on your
experience rewriting qmail-smtpd.
