I'd vote for cleaning out the YP stuff again too, though given the
headache it is to incorporate (insidious damn stuff, eh!?!), deleting it
would present a terrible headache for those that must use it.  Perhaps
they should be responsible for maintaining it....

Perhaps the same comment should apply to those wanting hesiod.

On the other hand, would the people who "want" these features be
appeased by adding something less insidious, that worked with the normal
system as-is, etc.?  (Eg. something like Perdue's ACMAINT?)
