Gopher and NNTP are actually still being used (the former a bit
sparsely, but there are a few servers here and there). The rest I don't
mind seeing disappear (we don't ship the telnet and rlogin programs
anymore AFAIK, I've never heard of bibp, and we have a finger program as
an alternative to the functionality in lynx).
this support does not need to be in base.
I very much use lynx for its gopher support. I would be sad to see it go.
Finally, turn off the file editor which can be accessed with "g.<enter>"
using the --disable-dired switch.
I don't see a good reason to get rid of this. What is the rationale?
I want a text browser not a file manager.
