If Internet Config is an "old MacOS API" will it eventually disappear?

In a few years, and if hell freezes over, maybe. It's recommended that new software uses System Configuration and Launch Services to replace Internet Config usage, but disabling Internet Config would break a whole lot of Carbon software. Python doesn't have an official wrapper for System Configuration (though I have one available), and the Launch Services wrapper is new for Python 2.4.
