And? Major license issues -- LGPL.  Almost certainly tied in heavily to other parts of qt.  I mean, yay, another networking library, but..

What kind of networking support do we want to provide in Phobos, anyway?  Something like the Boost package?  More complete?  Less?

I don't know, I just thought that the Qt library would be a good data point for a successful one. It does appear to be inheritance oriented, which might not be appropriate.
