DECnet is in use against real DEC implementations - I have checked it 
quite recently against a VAX running OpenVMS. How many people are 
actually using it for real work is a different question though.

It's also true that it's not really supported by anyone as I orphaned it 
some time ago and nobody else seems to care enough to take it over. So 
if it's becoming a burden on people doing real kernel work then I don't 
think many tears will be wept for its removal.
