• Merging zones, regions and/or nets

    From Björn Felten@2:203/2 to Kees van Eeten on Sat Jun 19 11:55:22 2021
    What makes you think, that merging Zones is viable, in a network, where
    merging nets seems almost impossible, although it is suggested in policy.

    Merging nets means changing node numbers. Merging regions OTOH only means that previous RINs will need to change, but all the nets remain unchanged.

    Been there, done that (R20 - R23 -> R20) and it went without a glitch. Except of course that one of the hosts keep complaining about how I handle the nodelist segment for R20... :-)

    So what. It was never a problem to the previous RC28. Nor to the previous
    ZC2. Even though it invalidated some payware licences.

    Indeed so, but the subject is "merging zones" meaning massive renumberings.

    For two of those zones it should take less than a minute.
    For the rest, maybe an hour. Two if you are slow.

    Besides, have you ever toyed with the idea of just having a single net in R20 and forcing everyone in it?

    Bj”rn did it. And [almost] nobody complained.

    The previous RC28 was someone else...

    Indeed.
