I hope that is a typo.  What I am saying is that in simple
ALIAS-only type of digipeaters that are acting as FILL
digis, they should in the future support both aliases
of "RELAY" and "WIDE2-2" .  This can be done with
MYALIAS and with MYNODE or MYBBS in some TNC.s

They should be both.  First  for a mobile that needs to use
them as a RELAY to get into another digipeater further on.
But also support WIDE2-2 for a modern mobile that 
happens to wander into the area and needs to be heard.
