Used by everyone who uses FreeBSD, possibly indirectly since many of our tools use perl (killalll, etc..), as well as anyone building a custom kernel. > cpio? Used by our install tools. > objdump? Used by anyone using FreeBSD to develop code. > mount_ext2fs? Cannot be easily cleanly removed from the tree, as it has very strong ties to the kernel data structures. (Unlike most userland code such as uucp). > vinum? Used by lots of folks, and has the same issues as ext2fs.
