It it isn't necessary for a system to have support for either oldnet or newnet. Sure, it is rare these days, but networking support should be a default, not a requirement. The USE default seems pretty reasonable to me. By all means use an ewarn when neither is set, but it shouldn't be an error. If we must, a news item might help, but I think that is pushing it. A better news item would be explaining the perils of USE=-*. Rich
