What's the gain? The package is tiny and it is one of the most basic network diagnostic tools. When setting up a machine, ping may be the only tool that lets you figure out why all the fetches are failing. I think we should keep it, unless there is a compelling reason not to (or when we get s4s). Regards, Tobias
