16 Oh, you mean the docs that only cover the "old" configuration mechanism
17 and are only installed with USE=oldnet? How silly to think that changes
18 that are likely to take testers' machines offline should be documented,
19 if nothing else with, say, 'ewarn "USE=-oldnet changes the network
20 configuration syntax, check it before rebooting"'. I wasn't bitten
21 (because I am more cautious than that), but I WAS annoyed that a package
22 was sent out to be tested with zero instructions on the drastic changes
23 it made.
