As you say, it is a drastic solution. Most of the .cc files we have don't use
any networking at all. Actually, most of the networking should be wrapped in
ASIO anyway. Personally, I think such solution lacks the basic levels of
elegance.

What do you mean by header files should include only internal headers? I never
heard about such policy and I don't think we follow it (there are many header
files including something from STL or Boost).

With regards
