I agree with you. As I don't use UUCP, I'd like to see it moved to pkgsrc,
so I won't fill my disk with software I'm never going to use,
and people who use UUCP will have easy way to install it.

And as I don't use postfix, I don't want to have it in base...
Since there is a postfix package, this seems *absolutely* redundant
to me. One could install binary package if he doesn't like pkgsrc.

No, I'm not for moving everything to pkgsrc, just moving 2 large things
most people may never touch would make me happy.
