I really was not my or Marcs intention to skip any discussions. Rwatson told

it before the 1. of july, and that's what I've done. Sorry if I've upset
anyone.
Personally I think the tool is quite handy, better than net/wol (which
doesn't seem to work with different interfaces), wake doesn't need any
strange libaries as dependencies and it just a very short one (4k)
If the concensus is to back it out, I'll back it out.
FWIW, I think having a wake-on-lan tool in the base system is pretty valuable
-- it's compact, useful, etc. Making sure we get the right tool, that it has
the right name, right license, no odd script dependencies, etc, are all
reasonable concerns, and could have been handled better by addressing them on
the lists before, rather than after, the commit (Marc's tool meets some but
not all of these requirements on face value). That said, I am caught a bit by
surprise at the level of my response, and was not aware of the NetBSD-side
discussion...
