He was always its most outspoken proponent, in everything I ever saw
in the technical media.
Actually, I think he was its ONLY proponent. I hated it from the
NeXTSTEP days; it was a terrible idea then too.

I love the South Park reference, but I'm wondering
why they kept NetInfo
around for so many years and only recently ditched it.
That was inheritance from NEXTSTEP/OPENSTEP and you're right, it
didn't really disappear until 10.4 or 10.5 IIRC. It was ugly, it was
even worse in OPENSTEP!
