Cue the admin-side gripes about developer definitions of micro-upgrade explicit "bugfix release" that allow disappearance of "obsolete tools". Arguably such removals can be expected in a "feature release", but shouldn't surprise unsuspecting admins doing a micro-version upgrade that's specifically billed as a "bugfix release". (Further support for btrfs being "still stabilizing, not yet fully stable and mature." But development mode habits need to end /sometime/, if stability is indeed a goal.) -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
