call me new, i only started with 4=2E6, being 19 years old at that time, wh= ich is pretty good i think i've always found anything but gpart way too confusing to use=2E by that t= ime i started with fbsd, chs was also gone for good=2E hence, no need, and = when gpart came, i just switched over=2E and i consider myself a slow adapt= er to some of new things also, why would ufs users need to be immediately assumed to be only using = anything but gpart? it's not like ufs is some old legacy=2E also i don't re= ally believe you could really use 15 with all the features except of some d= isk tools=2E on all new hw=2E on old hw, you won't be using 15=2E because f= disk is not the only thing we removed over years=2E unsure if sad or happy = path=2E nbsd seems to support everything still i see=2E i don't know, maybe= i should have really started with actual unix where i would have gotten li= felong preference to fdisk and disklabel=2E high respect if those ones read= this tho but yea, from all the replies, only thing i see is fdisk and disklabel is = more comfortable to use, while giving no technical benefits at all=2E fuck = knows if that's the reason to keep them then i recall myself objecting before when there was call to remove grdc and po= m=2E can't say about pom, i've used it for fun sometimes=2E grdc found use = when checking if times are in sync=2E but those really belong to ports=2E i= t not like those disappear or get banned=2E i could put them there myself, = if it comes up again and i still miss them we have moved a lot of things to ports already, since 4=2E6=2E altho, if p= kgbase comes along, some argue against it too, it would be hard to draw a l= ine where the "base" ends=2E what's "officially" supported and what's not but yeah, i can confirm that a lot of changes have annoyed me=2E switch to= pkgng=2E or that libxo breaks stuff=2E pkgng now works i think, xo is stil= l crapshoot=2E despite, i admit i like being able to get json from sysutils so yeah changes kind of suck, but they still happen?
