`which(1)` probably needs maintenance no more than once a decade, and all talk of removing it has already cost the Debian `which(1)` maintainer alone more than the savings of several centuries' worth of maintenance on `which(1)` Actually removing it will cost even more still in maintenance cost for third parties that depend on `which(1)` today. This utter lack of respect for other people's time on the part of the Debian community is simply shocking. We, the users, would understand this if `which(1)` maintenance were a burden on the Debian maintainers, but it is not. Respect our time!
