cu(1) is still included in supported versions of NetBSD. It would be
still be very nice if it worked properly.
I have re-opened the PR, since you are right that PRs can be
filed against any supported version.
Furthermore you can't really just replace cu(1) with tip(1) -- they have
quite different uses and tip(1) is severely deficient in several
important ways.
tip(1) in -current has been upgraded to have all the features of
cu(1). Are you aware of any that might be missing?
