I support it's removal, because I think that software that is used by a tiny fraction of the userbase (and I suspect that uucp fits into that catagory) should be removed from the "core" distribution, and made into a seperate package; provided that obtaining the package and integrating it into FreeBSD is not too onerous. -- Mike Bristow, seebitwopie To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
