Because it's been there for a long time, and there's a general concensus that it's useful to have it. The usefulness of tcpslice in the base system is more debatable. > I would be okay with either.

Whether that means importing a version that has the bug fixed or whether it means removing it, well, I don't have a strong opinion. > I'd do the import for you, but alas, I have not a > commit bit.
