It's crazy to me that something as core as less has such bit rot. I'm aware GNU rebuilt a bunch of tools a while ago and added a slew of common features such as `-h` for human readable mode, and `--` long arguments. Does this rewrite have a name yet? and can it be brought into the core project at all? (or the GNU project?)
- jordigh 12y agoBeing part of the GNU project doesn't mean it's going to be maintained. For example, bzr supposedly is a core GNU package, and it's dead. Being a GNU package just means you agree to behave in a GNUly way. It's a very informal and easily-granted qualification.
