You are not helping yourself by not being clear.

You do not mean "the Taylor configuration format should be abandoned in 
favour of the HDB and V2 formats", you mean "the UUCP suite should be 
built with support for the Taylor, HDB and V2 configuration formats".

ie. HAVE_HDB_CONFIG and HAVE_V2_CONFIG should be set to 1 in /usr/src/
gnu/libexec/uucp/common_source/policy.h.

This wouldn't cost anything functionality-wise, and would make Bill 
happy.  Can we achieve enough consensus on this to make it into 2.2.5?
