you still can use them in netpd, but you need to 'port' them, which
unfortunately introduces some additional work (basically adding
version-tags). since netpd can handle recursive abslist, i thought about
creating a dummy abstraction 'list-abs', that just contains an abslist
with all list-abs in itself. then netpd-patch-develors would just have
to mention 'list-abs' in abslist of the patch. though, i didn't find
time to do that yet, and i am not so sure about if this is a good thing
to do. whenever a change to list-abs is made, this change needs to be
ported to netpd's list-abs. otoh, anyone could do that job at anytime
withouth getting conflicts, as long the version numbers are handled with
care.
