What's the gain? The package is tiny and it is one of the most |
| 10 |
basic network diagnostic tools. When setting up a machine, ping |

may be the only tool that lets you figure out why all the fetches |

are failing. I think we should keep it, unless there is a |

compelling reason not to (or when we get s4s). |
