My recollection of the discussion was something like this:
1. Can we remove doscmd from the base and make it a port?
2. NO! doscmd works and I use it!
3. But we can easily make doscmd a port.
4. Oh, well, ok, but maybe we should wait till 6.0?
5. At this point, tjr assented to waiting, but others mentioned that if
we're going to do it, let's do it before 5.3 so that 5-stable looks more
like what we want it to look.
6. I heard no objections to 5.
My perspective on this might be skewed, since I vote for its removal to
ports, sooner rather than later, as well.
