Are you trolling? I don't see support for MS Notepad either, which I
think is equally relevent. Why on earth would a non-free program
that's not part of Debian, and probably never will be, have any
bearing on Debian policy?
OTOH, I oppose the proposal because I'd rather preserve traditional
*NIX behavior. I'd rather not have us have to make weird patches to
programs like mailx and rn that people (and programs) expect to have
work the way they've always worked.
