True, or it could be dropped from the virtual entirely by the same |
| 11 |
reasoning: no one is using daemontools on purpose in 2021 (the last |

Thinking about it, we should probably just mask all of the DJB packages |
| 15 |
with a warning that "you are about to waste your time." The few |
| 16 |
remaining users could package.unmask them. I've been meaning to replace |
| 17 |
tinydns for a decade but the stupid servers just keep running |
| 18 |
effortlessly. |
