Hi,

I think it would be a good idea if we de-orbit /usr/sbin/mrouted in 
7-CURRENT. Several reasons:

1. DVMRP is not specified for any new multicast installations; PIM is 
the de-facto standard now.
2. The code generates warnings during a buildworld (see bin/71633)
3. Given point (1) it probably doesn't belong in the base system; there 
is more interest in multicast these days because of things like 
zeroconf, however, DVMRP no longer belongs in a PIM world.

What say thee?

Regards,
BMS
