I think that is a great question. I would find it very instructive to see that question answered. I am a big fan of the suckless attitude, but I am not an expert suckless programmer like some of the people on this list. If you are inclined, please educate me. I am an eager student. Would it be possible or desirable to make any of the suckless tools/programs to suck even less by writing them to use netcat or inetd and removing all network-specific code? Do one thing and do it well? Is Plan 9 the logical extreme of this practice?
