iputils is currently in @system for everyone. by default, it only

all systems include it ? or should this wait for the long idea of

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).
# busybox ping 8.8.8.8
PING 8.8.8.8 (8.8.8.8): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 8.8.8.8: seq=0 ttl=56 time=37.303 ms
(bb is in @system afaik)
i should read an entire thread before responding :) i didn't see
someone had already pointed out busybox.
