>Description:

	
It has come to my attention that FreeBSD has removed fortunes quoted
from Adolf Hitler a few days ago. I was very surprised that there
actually were such quotes!

https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base?view=revision&revision=325781
or
https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd/commit/0271df5714d9ce5274f82889febb6536a2fdba59

Then soon after that they went a bit overboard and removed basically all
fortune cookies:
https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base?view=revision&revision=325828


I checked our fortune cookies database, and I was appalled to notice
that we do have the same quotes there. Apart from those quotes being
wholly inappropriate in a list of funny quotes, they are probably
illegal in Germany (where I now happen to live).

I hereby propose to remove them (but not remove all fortunes).

>How-To-Repeat:

$ fortune -m Hitler all
