Can anyone confirm that NetReg 2.0 does, or does not do self registrations?

My only question about NetReg 2.0 is this little note tucked away in the
TODO file:
removing specifics regarding "CSO" only access (i.e. currently we only allow
"Computing Support Officers" to register hosts onto the network, we don't
allow users to perform self-registration, and this needs to be addressed to
make it work in many Residential/College networks (as per NetReg 1) so users
can register their own equipment.
This leads me to believe that it no longer performs the basic function that
most of us latched onto NetReg for in the first place. Self-Registrations.
Is this note still correct, or is it just an orphaned note that never got
removed from the CVS?

The current CVS version of NetReg 2.0 has support for Oracle and
PostgreSQL. I have 2 programmers working with Peter and I here at
Southwestern (we're swamped with other projects) who have just started
looking into adding the code to 2.0 for MySQL support. I'm hoping that
they'll be able to move quickly on it, but I don't know if the code will
be available until the end of the summer at the earliest, which won't
help much with those wanting to upgrade NetReg before Fall semester
(Spring to those in the Southern hemisphere :-) like Baron. Postgress
Just a comment in general about NetReg 2.0 though. David Bussenschutt
has done quite an amazing amount of work on v2.0 so far (with some help
not to go unmentioned). If you're fortunate enough to have Oracle
available to you, I would strongly urge you to setup a test environment
and try it out. He has it in production, and is actively developing.
MANY kudos to David!!! If you don't have Oracle, give Postgress a try
(it's free) -- though note it's currently untested (to my knowlege).
