If I add up the person-hours expended on fortune related drama over the 22 
years I've been involved in the project then I quickly come to the conclusion 
that it should go.  For as long as I can remember, it has been *the* drama 
lightning rod for the project.

With regret, I'm in the 'move to ports' camp on this.  The whole thing, 
including tips.

However, I'd be in favor of something like having freebsd-tips be offered as a 
default post-install package in the installer.
