I'm unhappy about this for a reason that hasn't even been mentioned in the monster thread that clogged -arch: Including tcsh in the base system means that people will use it. csh clearly isn't good enough for people to use, and when they looked around for a better interactive shell, many found their way to proper sh-ish shell like bash or ksh. Now they will stay with tcsh instead. And they will write (t)csh scripts. Importing tcsh gives new life to a shell family that should die, die, die. From a shell advocacy point of view, importing tcsh was the very worst thing that could happen. -- Christian "naddy" Weisgerber naddy@mips.rhein-neckar.de To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
