There is? Is there anything else that they're going to spring on us?
(I'm still annoyed that they removed "jive" because it upset someone's
delicate sensibilities.)
Hmm. This does not come as good news to me. I've been working on an antispam
system that targets the use of Sendmail, for about a year (not counting the
untold hours spent tuning it over the years). Sure, many aren't comfortable
with the m4(1) macros. But c'mon. Please don't.
As to these backstage removal discussions; is it remotely possible that
those of whom continue to use, and contribute to *BSD after all these years
might be included in these discussions?
I understand the tantrums, and bikeshedding that's occurred in the past,
revolving around these types of discussion(s). But may I humbly suggest that it
may be largely in part, because these decisions were simply *sprung* on
everyone? Which is bound to insight some degree of panic in some, or perhaps
even many.
