You're right that my experience with linuxconf has been largely posative. I do
acknowledge there are some problems with it - in my experience mostly minor ones
which can be worked around, but I've never used it for much beyond configuring
network interfaces and dial up connections.
My argument is that is shouldn't be gotten rid of because it's too easy to use and
the user doesn't learn anything when using it. Getting rid of it beacuse there are
better, more reliable alternatives is perfectly alright.
