Nivedita, it was you specifically who complained to me
when I used a seperate BK tree for networking changes
last month whilst Linus was away for 2 weeks.  You said
that this gave IBM too many trees to work from, so I told
you that what I was doing was a temporary thing until Linus
came back from his trip.

Now you're suggesting that I specifically do what you asked
me not to do a month ago.

So figure out what you really want.

And I have to warn people if they think that the churn is fast
and the rate of change in the networking is high right now, you
have seen absolutely nothing yet. :-)
