XNET was removed because it hasn't changed and is still available from prior distributables. It is 60KB as a stand-alone and IMHO should not bloat KiX by making it internal. Since KiX is primarily a logon script processor and since XNET requires admin rights and most users don't have admin rights, it is a bad idea to add the baggage to all those users that cannot even use it.

Administrators running admin scripts would have no problem to to use it as an external utility.
