-<h3><a name="Status">Current ACE Subsetting Status</a></h3>
-
-The ACE subsetting effort has identified a few areas for
-improvement.  These will be addressed in the future:<p>
-
-  <ul>
-    <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.  Another alternative would
-      be to disable compilation of Log_Msg.cpp when ACE_NLOGGING is
-      enabled.<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.  This
-      isn't really a subsetting problem, but is necessary to
-      support Embedded C++.<p>
-  </ul><P>
