Keith Bierman:
"...it is impossible to use ping in Tails, because ping uses the ICMP protocol while Tor can only transport TCP connections."

Seems like including ping is an attractive nuisance. Since it can't work, wouldn't it be better to remove it? Or replacing it with a trivial script which explains why ping can't work?

Good point!

It seems easy to remove, so why not get rid of it (and a bit of FAQ):
