Hi all,
I have been watching recent posts with interest.  I feel we are still being
limited by having to keep supporting AK1A.  I wonder if it about time that
Dirk and Lee (and others) started to think more about moving the cluster
network forward and less about always having to provide backward
compatibility?  It really is about time the AK1A nodes were retired IMHO,
after all, the price of the new software is right :)  Todays cluster network
needs to be more dynamic and control is becoming more and more important.
 The majority of users are using modern logging clients that would benefit
from having an XML interface for example.

I may be talking complete rubbish here and it would not be the first time ;)
 I really do think  we need to look at the future though.  How would cluster
software look if AK1A was not a factor?
