No. I think you're over-reacting to a few cosmetic changes. Many people LIKE the new changes to FTP. Many people have requested a *new* flag for ls (which nobody is forced to use) which would allow filenames with weird characters in them to be displayed properly. Don't mistake "traditionalism" for "stagnation" since the latter is what you appear to be arguing for. - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
