I've been wondering if we don't need an UPDATING entry for UUCP,
suggesting that:
(1) The user install the UUCP package in the future, if they use UUCP
or
(2) They garbage collect the UUCP binaries scattered around the system:
they still present a security risk, and won't be deleted in the
upgrade unless it's a reinstall.
BTW, was the security problem ever actually fixed in the seperate UUCP
distribution? If not, we may need to add a warning to the package.
