I think this is an excellent start. My shopping list includes:
- remove ftp(1)
- remove ftpd(8)
- remove telnet(1)
- remove telnetd(8)
- remove ftp:// and http:// from libfetch. This is 2021 and we should all
use https://.
- replace DNS lookups with DoH and/or DoT. Why let your ISP see your DNS
traffic?
I wonder how many people use YP/NIS (man 8 yp)?
It's a nifty concept; I played around with it last century...
I believe there is still an open PR in bugzilla I created (can't find it
right now, used a diffent email address back then, although same
username).
Removing it from base (if it should be done at all) looks very complicated
and therefore creating a port equally so.
I know this topic (removing ftpd) is closed, so perhaps this should be
a new one (removing YP/NIS)? ie. no development on yp has been
done for over a decade.
My view: remove neither
