[Quoted] No, but it wouldn't surprise me if it did the disappearing act. On the other [Quoted] hadn, 10i won't be out until at least another 6 months or so, and won't be a [Quoted] stable release 2 until sometime after that either (I'm guessing here, just [Quoted] in case anyone's wondering). So names server is at least good for another 12 months or more.
