+ <youpi> this was supposed to be much better than our current netio

+ <teythoon> youpi: socketio looks nice. any reason in particular why you are
+ working on it?
+ <youpi> teythoon: I was looking at the firewall stuff, and wondering about
+ Zheng Da's work, and seen netio, thus wondered "what is it about
+ already?" and found there was no documentation, so dug into the mailing
+ list archives, only to find it was supposed to be precated in favour of
+ socketio, etc. :)
