I can tell you, as the gpm maintainer, that libgpm is *not* moving into /lib/.

It is a very nice clean editor. IYO. We _must_ have a vi (or at worst, vi clone) available in the base system. You can't just arbitrarily decide that vi shouldn't be included any more because you prefer mc. The entire idea is ridiculous; just more mc-fanatics trying to shove their idolised program down others' throats. Give over already. It is a) way too big for the base system for the minimal or non-existent ``gain'' it offers and b) *not* a suitable replacement for what has been proposed to be removed. -- James ~Yawn And Walk North~ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
