The point was traceroute is _not_ installed by default. An admin desiring to |
| 9 |
install this software, in my case, on several hundred servers, I don't want |
| 10 |
to have to chmod traceroute on all those boxes, everytime there's an update |
| 11 |
to traceoute because of what could be deemed a poor choice for security. |

I don't see where the discussion has gotten moot or off-track. If enough of |
| 14 |
the community wants it back the way it was, I assume Gentoo developers will |
| 15 |
respond as such. |
