Just because 80% of the people (if not : more) think csh is horrible, doesn't mean that we should just : completely remove it without putting anything remotely resembling : it in its place. Agreed. This is BSD. People expect a csh like thing. tcsh is a csh like thing that will keep them happy. You'll alianate a *LOT* of people if you do this. Also, having tcsh move into the main system means that root can use it in single user w/o having to mount /usr/local/bin. If you use the port, you have to put up with csh until you can get /usr/local/bin mounted. And sometimes that's not desirable at all. Removing both from the system would force the admin to use sh, which is not accpetible to a large portion of the user community, despite what some people's views are.
