It is good to know that people are still using the Linux DECnet code
too. It has lived far beyond the time when I'd envisioned it still being
useful :-)
There are still some people interested in it. Btw. on Debian popcon
counts 5356 users.
This is grossly misleading.  Here's the historical graph showing <100
installations of libdnet until early 2011:
http://qa.debian.org/popcon-graph.php?packages=libdnet
Maybe my statement was missleading. popcon shows 5356 installs. This
includes real users and non-real users. Both groups *may* be affected by
droping the kernel module (in diffrent ways).

For some reason (a joke?) roaraudio has DECnet
support and its packages depend on libdnet.
Maybe just because it is usefull for the RoarAudio project.

Anyway, don't take the number too important. It was just a minor note.
