I'm fairly ceratin that what this means is you will nolonger be able to reach
Comindico-Peers (as opposed to WAIX peers) via Comindico (which had been possible 
previously, Mmmmm free Ausbone :)).  I don't believe that it means at all the 
Comindico will be dropping from WAIX, not will any Comindico housed service.

I feel that as long as Planetmirror is housed at comindico it _will_ be
availbale via WAIX.
