What’s the motivation for removing it? The program isn’t NIS specific, although it is NIS aware (doing ypcat and merging that with the password file), and it should function “reasonably” well in most environments. (I don’t think it will work in a NIS+ environment, but who cares about that.)
I don’t use this thing, but reading the man page it looks like it does still have some useful purpose. I can’t see that keeping this around carries any particular baggage, nor do I see where removing it is likely to facilitate other work or reduce some sustaining burden elsewhere. Am I mistaken?
