I want to help, but my plate full. I'm sure there is someone who can take this on. (Actually the project should be more broadly scoped: Remove non-essential packages from ON and move them to the appropriate consolidations. I was asking to understand if there was a deliberate purpose to keeping it in on. (Is it considered core?) I ask because if it is part of ON deliberately, I can make my packages dependent on perl. If it simply done for convenience and belongs elsewhere, I could not rely on it. (I made the decision already not to rely on perl.) I will soon be working on vim integration in SVN. Which will hopefully be replacing vi. Vi is, if I am not mistaken, part of ON. Where would vim/vi end up? In ON or SFW or both? Thanks, Brian
