 <h3><a name="Status">Current ACE Subsetting Status</a></h3>
 
-The following are the remaining major subsetting issues: <P>
+The ACE subsetting effort has identified a few areas for
+improvement.  These will be addressed in the future:<p>
 
   <ul>
-    <li>Remove remaining dependencies on higher layers from ACE_OS.
-      (These can be seen by searching for ACE_HAS_MINIMAL_ACE_OS
-       in OS.cpp, and by looking at the conditional #includes
-       near the top of OS.cpp.)
-    <ul>
-      <li>ACE_Thread_Manager
-      <li>ACE_Array
-      <li>ACE_TSS: move all ACE_TSS support into separate .h,.i,cpp files
-    </ul><p>
-
     <li>Log_Msg cleanup:  We have a good start on this, but it needs work
       to finish.  It might be easiest to make an abstract
       base class, then have ACE_Log_Msg derive from it.  That way
       we could remove the exposure of all the #includes in Log_Msg.cpp
-      to applications that don't need it.<p>
+      to applications that don't need it.  Another alternative would
+      be to disable compilation of Log_Msg.cpp when ACE_NLOGGING is
+      enabled.<p>
 
-    <li>Higher layer interdependencies:  we haven't been paying much
-      attention to this.  We need to figure out what's there, and
-      if/how to deal with the interdependencies.<p>
+    <li>Higher layer interdependencies:  we haven't exhaustively
+      tested all possible combinations of subsets.  It's possible
+      that there are interdependencies between some layers that
+      we haven't yet identified.<p>
 
     <li>Remove use of multiple inheritance:  its only used in a few
-      places, in one of the SOCK classes and Service Config.<p>
+      places, in one of the SOCK classes and Service Config.  This
+      isn't really a subsetting problem, but is necessary to
+      support Embedded C++.<p>
