Comment 13 for bug 988925

BTW, I have just read this discussion on Fedora: http://osdir.com/ml/fedora-devel-list/2011-08/msg01691.html

Jon said, very reasonably: "[...] there isn't a compelling disk space or security argument, I really don't see why this should be dropped. I'm looking for a clear example of demonstrable harm. It's 14k of silliness, not a rootkit."
On that, Karel Zak acted as a bully, saying: "That's simple, I'm upstream maintainer. The command has been disabled by default in the last stable release. And yes, one I day I'll drop it..."
With only "arguments" being:
"- it's joke rather than anything useful
- it's installed on all systems, but almost nobody uses this crap"

So, by the language and attitudes he is using, and not giving any rational argument, nor option, one can easily assume that this Zak guy from Fedora/Red Hat/upstream has just decided to start his own holy crusade against the "crazy witches" in the wider Linux community.
I think the Ubuntu community should join the Debian one, and refuse to indulge this irrational and intolerant act.

Frink!
