You are still missing the blindingly obvious.

People who *need* UUCP have no chance in hell of being able
to marshall hosting resources, or they damn well would not
*need* UUCP.


This _SO_ reminds me of when FreeBSD murdered X.25 and ISODE
support by changing the routing code out from under it, by
failing to update the X.25 and ISODE code to use the changed
routing code.

I guess it's "OK" that most packet radio installations these
days use anything but FreeBSD.
