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

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