I would be sad to see any documentation about the package manager going away from the handbook. I would be sad to see any documentation about X configuration (which where there for sure 3 or 4 years ago going away) I would be sad to see any documentation about ldap going away (iirc also older than 3 or 4 years ago) What about the http documentation, thhe samba one? Clearly the handbook has always documented tools that are not available in base. Best regards, Bapt
