Well, depends on how you look at it. IMHO, it's not suitable for
current-users, as the topic has nothing to do with problems in
current, but rather how NetBSD should evolve.
My complain is that every non-techincal discussion ends up on
current-users,
which reduces the signal to noise ration extremly :-(

Well, that's exactly what it became (and it was clear to me, that
at least one thread concerning this topic would end up this way.
Maybe I have been reading these mailing lists for too long ...)

After all, it's a matter of taste, what the login shell should 
look like.
