No breakage will happen, although i don't see much need to enable the
old stuff.  I couldn't even remember all the config file syntax when i
had to use HDB, let alone now where Taylor config is way easier.

Anyway, my only concern would be the added bloat, not any suspectible
breakage.

Btw., i'm also using UUCP on a daily basis, it's the only/best working
batch file transmission protocol still, and as such far better suited
for a dialup site than anything else.

Jordan, feel free to go ahead re-enabling the old config file parsers
for the true masochists. :-)

Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
