It seems inappropriate for servers. And whilst you're at it, the name "Free"BSD should be changed to something more professional too, and the silly logos and mascots made more formal - I'm sure the freebsd foundation can part with lots of generously donated cash for that. I'm sure daemon imagery offends many. I assume all the things that used to be under /usr/games should go too? And don't get me started on the sources! Especially those nasty GNU people with their rude language in the comments. F'words and everything! Truely shocking. Purge purge purge! (In case the obvious is missed, sarcasm...) Fortune and others are 'historical' and tiny - and has already been pointed out, some people use it already with their own data sets. I see no purpose in removing it. If you're than concerned submit a KNOB patch, and then those who want to can disable it in src.conf - how about WITHOUT_STUFF_I_THINK_IS_INAPPROPRIATE=yes ------------------------------------------------------------------------ http://svn.freebsd.org/base/head/usr.bin/fortune/ : r2491 | jkh | 1994-09-04 05:03:31 +0100 (Sun, 04 Sep 1994) | 3 lines ------------------------------------------------------------------------
