If I add up the person-hours expended on fortune related drama over the=
 22=20
years I've been involved in the project then I quickly come to the conc=
lusion=20
that it should go.  For as long as I can remember, it has been *the* dr=
ama=20
lightning rod for the project.

With regret, I'm in the 'move to ports' camp on this.  The whole thing,=
=20
including tips.

However, I'd be in favor of something like having freebsd-tips be offer=
ed as a=20
default post-install package in the installer.
