Hmm yes. The word 'netinfo' still strikes
fear into the souls of
people who tried to configure stuff like NFS exports on early OS X
versions :S
It was even a horrible pain back in NeXTSTEP. Apparently Netinfo had a hardcore devotee
(I don't recall who it was) within Apple who just Would Not Let It Go for way too
long.
It was a bad idea in NeXTSTEP, and an even worse idea in OS X. Good riddance.
