Re: RFC: Removing file(1)+libmagic(3) from the base system

I'd like to remove file(1) and libmagic(3) from the FreeBSD base system
for the following reasons:

1. I don't see it as being a necessary component of a UNIX-like operating
system.

I do, and so does POSIX. I use file(1) on a daily basis. So does every sysadmin I know.

2. It's available in the ports tree.

Everything is available in the ports tree.

Please leave file alone. It's happy where it is.
