otoh, only linux has the abstract namespace, and it supports peer credential verification as well, so this doesn't actually add any security afaict.<br />
arguably, the patch still makes sense from a maintenance perspective, removing a redundant code path.<br />
fwiw, i'd re-order this patch before the other one - it makes for smaller patches to first remove code and then refactor only what's left.</p></div></div><br /><div><strong>REPOSITORY</strong><div><div>R241 KIO</div></div></div><br /><div><strong>REVISION DETAIL</strong><div><a href="https://phabricator.kde.org/D10409" rel="noreferrer">https://phabricator.kde.org/D10409</a></div></div><br /><div><strong>To: </strong>chinmoyr, Frameworks, ossi<br /><strong>Cc: </strong>dfaure, michaelh<br /></div>
