Because that's what -arch is for. Big ticket decisions that affect the architecture of the base system. If you haven't read that thread, please check it out in the archives before commenting further. In any case, -chat is certainly NOT the place for this kind of discussion. Both because -chat is highly optional, and therefore decision makers could easily miss it, and because -chat's charter specifies, "Non-technical items." > Absolutely! This kind of shell does not belong in the base system. But it already was in the base system, but it was called csh. The version of csh we had was simply a very old version of "tcsh." All of this was covered already on -arch, along with most of the rest of the points you posted. Anyone who wants to continue this thread should do it on -arch, AFTER reading the archives.
