Please explain what mean and give as much detail as possible.

sl>> Huh?

JV>     It was said it wuld be a PITA to extract data from (E)SLF for

Who has said that? What I've said is:

A: There is no (E)SLF
B: It would be a waste of time to continue to kludge the nodelist. It is
best to start fresh and new and convert data back for those that must
continue to use SLF

sl>> You've been told repeatedly this won't happen.  Pay attention.

JV>     There is a small but very significant difference between "look
JV> we've got some nice new software for you" and "you do no need to
JV> upgrade at all".

This is what is known as FUD. No one has to upgrade software. See point B
above.
