58 As a follow-up to my original message, since it seems some people do
59use this feature: If you currently use multiple levels of linked nicks,
60would you have any objections to moving to a single-level system? If so,
61what?

72</I>&gt;<i>Subject: [IRCServices] Does anyone use nested nick links?
73</I>&gt;<i>
74</I>&gt;<i>
75</I>&gt;<i> As the subject says, I'd like to know if anyone finds the nested
76</I>&gt;<i>link system in Services useful, or if it's unnecessary. I originally
77</I>&gt;<i>modeled the system after symbolic links on Unix (and other) filesystems,
78</I>&gt;<i>but as this makes for added complexity and has in fact led to a number
79</I>&gt;<i>of bugs in the past as well as administrative difficulties. So if
80</I>&gt;<i>there's no need for having multiple levels of nicks, I'm planning to
81</I>&gt;<i>just remove that capability in version 5 and limit links to a single
82</I>&gt;<i>level.
83</I>&gt;<i>
84</I>&gt;<i> Note that the only case in which this makes a visible difference is
85</I>&gt;<i>the following:
86</I>&gt;<i> * Register NickA
87</I>&gt;<i> * Register NickB
88</I>&gt;<i> * Link NickB to NickA
89</I>&gt;<i> * Register NickC
90</I>&gt;<i> * Link NickC to NickB
91</I>&gt;<i> * Unlink NickB from NickA
92</I>&gt;<i> * Change a setting on NickB
93</I>&gt;<i>In the nested (current) system, NickC would use the new setting for
94</I>&gt;<i>NickB set in the last step, while in a flat system, NickC would retain
95</I>&gt;<i>the original settings associated with nick A. I can see potential cases
96</I>&gt;<i>where this functionality can be useful, but if no one is actually using
97</I>&gt;<i>links that way, then there's no real need to retain the functionality.
98</I>&gt;<i>
99</I>&gt;<i> So, opinions, please: do you need nested links?
