Thoughts? since I'm lazy: 18:28 < EvaSDK> Cardoe: about zeroconf/avahi thing, avahi shouldn't have ever existed indeed 18:28 < EvaSDK> the thing is that some apps could use both avahi and howl but had different ways to enable them so one thought it would be smart to create avahi use flag, and it spread all over the tree while zeroconf was the right one to use 18:29 < Cardoe> EvaSDK: comment on the ML threads in fact some even had the mdnsresponder/howl/avahi USE flags at the same time iirc. A cleanup would indeed be a good idea imho.
