23 It's been a while since I hung out in #gentoo, but one of the last times
24 I was there (say, July?), there were people supporting the use of the
25 newnet method (and i *think* were actually trying to get people to switch).

27 Personally, I prefer oldnet and would support the removal of newnet.
