yes, all of it. your proposal was not clear or properly posted (just tech-userlevel? man pages are used by all sorts of users), and there are there is significant push back, that was not resolved in the existing threads. > It was proposed 17 ago without objects and according to core@ rules for > removals. I waited even more than a week before the final removal. that doesn't really matter. your proposal wasn't complete and now you've done more than it suggested, and it was not proposed on the relevant lists, and you've changed unrelated things (like fortune.) your comments about "zero to do with current UNIX" is also irrelevant. if we only cared about that, we'd throw away all of src/games and i'm pretty sure you don't agree with that (and i'm glad to see you've been talking to lwall!) at this point the right thing is to revert, and then proceed with the discussion. if you can convince people that your idea is of merit, you can put it back in, but right now that is quite clearly not a shared sentiment. .mrg. ps: mouse: fortran went away because g77 went away, and since gfortran got back, i've not had a chance to put it in our build yet. it was always the plan, but no one sent me a patch yet... ;)
