Are you suggesting that a 15 year deprecation path is a fuck it attitude towards stewardship? Distros are free to've replaced the symlinks with wrapper scripts

Distros are free to've replaced the symlinks with wrapper scripts in the meantime. Granted, I expect Arch will go ahead & let the symlinks disappear. But I can't imagine what you think of Arch's stewardship
I expect this should have about as little impact as the usr merge many distros have gone through
- Ensorceled 4y agoI'm replying to the attitude in the comment I'm replying to, if I meant this as a comment on GNU's approach to fgrep/egrep, it would have been top level. The original deprecation seems ... petty? Not sure why it's a priority, but whatever. I know there are scripts still in use that I wrote more than a decade ago that might do weird things now and I wish the maintainers best of luck.
