I sorta agree - I find myself installing these packages constantly, too.

I'd also like to see a prototype /var/spool/ftp area included, and perhaps
wuftpd (I volunteer to engineer the former if need be)...

How about an "Advanced network services" option?  Include things like
httpd, gopher/d, archie, lynx, gated, et al.  This way we would not be
reducing the default functionality, but those of us who use FreeBSD as
network service platforms would be quite thrilled.

... Joe
