[Development] call for comments/review QSystemInfo::NetworkInfo API

[Chris Adams]

Hi Lorn,

In regards to the publish/subscribe and serviceframework bits, I wonder
what the plan is with those.  How much overlap between them and Replicant
is there?  Perhaps Brett could quickly sum up the differences between the
pub/sub module and the Replicant framework, and whether Replicant offers
serviceframework-like functionality also?

I would assume that if there was significant overlap, we would definitely
be better off removing QSystemInfo from that repo, as QSystemInfo is much
more widely used and obviously still relevant, while the other two perhaps
are less utilised in industry - but that's just my opinion.

With regards to the changes to the NetworkInfo API, I'm sure Aaron McCarthy
would be interested in those.  He's on holiday right now but hopefully
he'll get a chance to look at those soon.

Cheers,
Chris.
