| 34 | <PRE>I really wonder about people with more than 1 level of nested nicks, I don't | |
| 35 | see much of a point. If you want to fake multiple levels just use 2+ | |
| 36 | starting nicks. Anyway, I only use one base nick and link all my nicks to | |
| 37 | it. | |

| 58 | </I>><i> | |
| 59 | </I>><i> As the subject says, I'd like to know if anyone finds the nested | |
| 60 | </I>><i> link system in Services useful, or if it's unnecessary. I originally | |
| 61 | </I>><i> modeled the system after symbolic links on Unix (and other) filesystems, | |
| 62 | </I>><i> but as this makes for added complexity and has in fact led to a number | |
| 63 | </I>><i> of bugs in the past as well as administrative difficulties. So if | |
| 64 | </I>><i> there's no need for having multiple levels of nicks, I'm planning to | |
| 65 | </I>><i> just remove that capability in version 5 and limit links to a single | |
| 66 | </I>><i> level. | |
| 67 | </I>><i> | |
| 68 | </I>><i> Note that the only case in which this makes a visible difference is | |
| 69 | </I>><i> the following: | |
| 70 | </I>><i> * Register NickA | |
| 71 | </I>><i> * Register NickB | |
| 72 | </I>><i> * Link NickB to NickA | |
| 73 | </I>><i> * Register NickC | |
| 74 | </I>><i> * Link NickC to NickB | |
| 75 | </I>><i> * Unlink NickB from NickA | |
| 76 | </I>><i> * Change a setting on NickB | |
| 77 | </I>><i> In the nested (current) system, NickC would use the new setting for | |
| 78 | </I>><i> NickB set in the last step, while in a flat system, NickC would retain | |
| 79 | </I>><i> the original settings associated with nick A. I can see potential cases | |
| 80 | </I>><i> where this functionality can be useful, but if no one is actually using | |
| 81 | </I>><i> links that way, then there's no real need to retain the functionality. | |
| 82 | </I>><i> | |
| 83 | </I>><i> So, opinions, please: do you need nested links? | |
| 84 | </I>><i> | |
