Hello Soren,

thank you for your explanation.

I am in complete agreement with Stefan; it is a bad idea to change the
default behavior of a defacto-standard utility as a workaround for a bug
in a different (and apparently Linux-only) product, regardless of how
long it's been like that on Ubuntu.

On a side-note, the -q option is not part of netcat on OpenBSD. It's a
Debian extension. People relying on netcat-openbsd to behave like netcat
on OpenBSD do not know about -q.

It should be reclassified as a bug.


Regards,

Moritz
