What *is* it with people who want to break other people's working
setups just for grins? First we had someone who decided it was time to
break everything that uses procps, and now this. I have a 386 with 8MB
of memory, and an ancient 8-bit DEPCA card, happily running 2.0.30,
dedicated to running aa0bt.ampr.org using the latest version of
TNOS. I have no problems at all with it, and it doesn't need to be any
faster than it is or do any more than it does. Neither you nor anyone
else is being hurt by leaving in legend support, and some of us use
it, thank you!
