rwho(d) is a design from a different time, when networks were
trusted, and so on. It seems to me, we should and could stop
shipping it for trixie.

I'm raising this bug now, to:
1) establish awareness

I was long aware of this, as I was using rwhod/ruptime when networks were not split into thousand networks...

2) auto-rm it from trixie

I'd rather have a migration path, not binary compatible, but functionality compatible

3) give people time to chime in / secure replacements to show up

Please have a look at https://github.com/alexmyczko/rutpime (there's an ITP for it, and it has been in new queue several times: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1013361

After a while I intend to clone this bug to ftp.debian.org for
removal from unstable.

Please do not remove it if possible. I really wish to have a migration path for this, but well
we're waiting for ftp team.

Best,
Alex

Chris
