I've been wondering if we don't need an UPDATING entry for UUCP, suggesting that: (1) The user install the UUCP package in the future, if they use UUCP or (2) They garbage collect the UUCP binaries scattered around the system: they still present a security risk, and won't be deleted in the upgrade unless it's a reinstall. BTW, was the security problem ever actually fixed in the seperate UUCP distribution? If not, we may need to add a warning to the package.
