46 | ><i> As the subject says, I'd like to know if anyone finds the nested | |
47 | </I>><i> link system in Services useful, or if it's unnecessary. I originally | |
48 | </I>><i> modeled the system after symbolic links on Unix (and other) filesystems, | |
49 | </I>><i> but as this makes for added complexity and has in fact led to a number | |
50 | </I>><i> of bugs in the past as well as administrative difficulties. So if | |
51 | </I>><i> there's no need for having multiple levels of nicks, I'm planning to | |
52 | </I>><i> just remove that capability in version 5 and limit links to a single | |
53 | </I>><i> level. | |
54 | </I>><i> | |
55 | </I>><i> Note that the only case in which this makes a visible difference is | |
56 | </I>><i> the following: | |
57 | </I>><i> * Register NickA | |
58 | </I>><i> * Register NickB | |
59 | </I>><i> * Link NickB to NickA | |
60 | </I>><i> * Register NickC | |
61 | </I>><i> * Link NickC to NickB | |
62 | </I>><i> * Unlink NickB from NickA | |
63 | </I>><i> * Change a setting on NickB | |
64 | </I>><i> In the nested (current) system, NickC would use the new setting for | |
65 | </I>><i> NickB set in the last step, while in a flat system, NickC would retain | |
66 | </I>><i> the original settings associated with nick A. I can see potential cases | |
67 | </I>><i> where this functionality can be useful, but if no one is actually using | |
68 | </I>><i> links that way, then there's no real need to retain the functionality. | |
69 | </I>><i> | |
70 | </I>><i> So, opinions, please: do you need nested links? | |
