That's *NOT* a bug.  Maybe it could have been a change-request, but then
it should have come with changes that made such a restriction a
non-default option!

Same goes for pkg/12741 and all the silly discussion about restricting ps.

Remember, you're using a Unix-based system, not some fabled A1-secure system!

Unix-based systems create communities, not discourage them!

BTW, your mailer is probably broken too.  The mail headers on your PR
appeared as:

	From: Anne@netbsd.org, Bennett@netbsd.org
	Reply-To: Anne@netbsd.org, Bennett@netbsd.org

which tends to indicate that your mailer failed to qualify the addresses
in those fields as it is required to do.
