I understand that there are other candidates for migration from the core system to ports/packages. I think that is a =good= thing. As long as the installation process makes it as easy as it now does (thanks, Jordan) to select a very personal feature set, I'd vote that all the packages/ports that duplicate a core system feature should be removed from the core system. -crl -- Chad R.
