I agree. I can see the point of OLC, but in my experience it is so
easily abused, I find it a headache.
Also, if you have a planned upgrade and installation system like
Ardale, where you test changes on a seperate port, and then when it
is working to your satisfaction, you warn users on the main mud that
the MUD will reboot on a certain day,, and simply reboot on the
pre-determined date.
With that process, no OLC is required. (please note the selection of
the word. Although OLC may be desirable, it is not required).
If you wish to flame me for my opinions, feel free to, but do not
clutter up the mailing list with said junk. And don't spend ages
writing it, as if I see it's flame, I hit the delete key :o)
