"One of my most productive days was throwing away 1,000 lines of code." - Ken Thompson

(however, I am still unable to find the original source of this quote; the first BOOK mentioning it, without reference, is probably E. Raymond - The Art of UNIX Programming from 2003)

    Mostly because we didn't want a new toplevel srcdir for big things.
    
    Note that perl already lives there even though it's obviously under the Autistic licence by OpenLSD standards.

    Whcih i critisized since it's confusing..... I asked about WHAT license was choosen some years ago. Is it realy so hard to add a directory? :-/
    
    For me it was confusing and I was not alone....
    
    Btw: Are you incorporating Changes from Bitrig? They once made similiar Changes and porting could be likely easier.

    You are confused easily... Let me add to that gnu is not what you think, in this context it now stands for "Gigantic and Nasty but
    Unavoidable"
