Here is what I remember:
Courier was initially a hint (I think so, anyway). The author then
created an XML page and the book was updated to include Courier.
Time went by and the existing Courier instructions become obsolete
(to the point that the instructions were actually wrong for newer
versions of Courier). Since the exiting instructions no longer worked
for newer versions of Courier, and no BLFS editor used, or could
support Courier, it was removed from the book.
The various setups were somewhat complex (I don't have first hand
experience as I've never used Courier) to get the package up and
running. This was another reason it was pulled from the book. If
it were simply a CMMI type package with minimal configuration then
perhaps we could put it back in. Perhaps now the recent versions of
Courier are easier.
