[Nexus-developers] NAPI state

[Mark Koennecke]

High,

the autoconf stuff has improved much, thanks to Freddy, and is good now. 
Some tweaking with the text test
in the test case may be required.

Concerning the type: well it is extra work to rename type to NAPItype 
and suppress it. But I see a reason for it to be done. 
On the  other hand, a guiding principle of unix is transparency and this 
is why I am not so happy suppressing the type or
NAPItype. I do not have strong feelings about this and if we push back 
till june 3 it can be done.

A bigger problem is renaming the target attribute: This touches all 
API's and I wonder if we do need a vote in
order to make such a change.

This brings up an organisational issue: Many decisions we make are 
purely technical. and thus not interesting. But the
things mentioned above touch the content of the file. I personally feel 
that such decisions should be made by a larger
group. How to we come to a decision anyway? Nick rules?
