Yeah, the ancient 1980 stuff I don't care about. But dpost is too
widely useful -- I use it from time to time actually -- I don't think it
can be removed.
That said, someone needs to seriously think about the -Ttroff option to
lp, the -n option to lpr, and the man -t option. I think its likely
that these things probably need to go away to facilitate the CUPS
transition, but leave dpost in place so folks can still manually use it
when they need to. (And of course, such removals are "not this case".)
