Adrian, something to keep in mind is that the majority of your code's =
users will never use your preferred communication media.  So when you =
propose to remove a feature, absence of push-back means nothing, other =
than the lack of a communications channel with your 'customers'.

We get this a lot with feature manipulation in nmh, and have learned to =
tread carefully as a result.

This is also why the IETF defines work as being that which takes place =
on the mailing lists.  Slow and dumb (in the media-rich sense), but =
everyone knows what's going on.

In that light, if there is a rational argument for pulling RCS out of =
the base, propose it here on the -current list and let's all discuss it.
