Heartily agreed! I started to take a stab at this quite a while ago, but
gave up quickly. I think it will be substantially simpler if we've first
gotten all YP/NIS/NIS+-related code out of libc entirely (when TI-RPC or
another project depending on it supplies libnss_{nis,nisplus,compat} and
libnsl so no libc configuration needs to do so even for ABI compatibility).
Thanks,
Roland
