Now seriously, if we, at least, current european tendences, we'll see |
| 4 |
that over 80% of ISPs require the use of a dhcp client. The fact that |
| 5 |
someone does not need dhcp does not mean at all that it should be |
| 6 |
removed by default. If we had to think that way, then probably bash |
| 7 |
(for example) should be removed too, as I can perfectly work with sh. |
| 8 |
Or we could remove nano, as with a simple echo/sed/less we can handle |
| 9 |
with archieves, right? |

IMHO it's stupid (no offense to anyone) to remove it. |
