they are not, but this is not the issue. "it is just convenient to have emacs in the base system", it's a de facto standard, it's widely known and i guess it's much more widespread than the use of sendmail. but, again, this is not the issue here. why not have apache in the base dist?

Please! this isn't it neither. re-read the original mail and think about it again. > P.S. Get rid of vi; cat should be enough for everyone! do you really expect me to comment on this? btw, "guessing" from the domain part of you mail address, you should actually be interested in straightforwardness and stability of implementations in the field your company operates in, shouldn't you? btw2, it's very hard to make a point if the first sentence of an email ends with "period.", even harder if you fail to make a point in your whole argumentation. btw3, if you didn't still did not understand what i meant in the original mail (i know, i'm not a native english speaker, so are you, so the chosen language might not be as efficient due to my deficiencies), please think about it _again_. it is about simplicity of implementation. straighforwardness. ease of administration. this in context to what i see as the basic paradigms in bsd's design. and this all in relation to "how-it-is-done in -RELEASE". i don't want to change somebody's lifestyle. i don't want to change the release engineer's way of thinking. i want the people involved to think about the questions i posed in the original mail and i _know_ that this is a good idea. with people like you, "guarding" the borders of "their" sandlot, of course, there's not as much probability to come to a point of _discussion_, because you appear to _insist_ on the correctness of your view of the world. fwiw, let me tell you one thing my friend: when the catholic church around 1490 AD taught a picture of a world being flat as a dish, columbus was apparently the only one idealistic enough to prove them wrong. this was not the result of saying "we did this since 1300, why should we think different now?". you get my point. have a nice day, /k -- > Coders do it with a routine.
