While I like the elimination of such entries, I hope that if/when the project get to this that they will:

1.) Create a better methed for changing node permissions on boot.
2.) Create a better system for if nodes.
3.) Knowing the project, I am sure that all code related to this will be stable, and more than anything, fast!

Those are my three newbish thoughts/comments. There is a reason why I do not post often, but I do enjoy seeing the direction that the project is taking. I am also eager to see the response.
