Re: [lwip-members] RFC: decoupling of raw / netcon_ interface

[Jani Monoses]

Hi Leon
I understand your gripes WRT things changing underneath your apps.
In my case and I'm sure in David's too changing behaviour was unintentional 
of course.The excuse I've got is that when it's about changing code and not 
about
some new feature or idea I think the best way is putting it in CVS and let 
others
look at it too instead of talking about it on the list especially when you 
don't realise
some effects of that change.
I'll look into that CONNECTED thing ASAP see if it can be moved so it does not 
touch 
lower layers.

Thanks for keeping an eye on us ;)

Jani.
