Please not again this boring discussion. :-( I don't why it is necessary to
cut off some popular programs, just to save a few bytes from one of the
installation medias.
lynks is not the default browser in the distribution. If there are issues,
maintainer can work on it or not. But if we keep lynx up and running, then it
is just because people want to have it.
If you're not interested in installing lynx, I think there is no need to do so.
Just don't install it. Drop it and forget it. lynx has never the chance to get
installed due to any package selection, but still it's in the system of many
people. So why don't you wonder why this is?
If people use lynx, and not konqueror and not w3m, then it is because they
don't want to get bothered by any frames, javascript, inline pictures, nor
anything else.
lynx is still used in the buildsystem by several packages. We need to keep it
just because of this.
lynx knows about IPv6 addresses and therefore became one of the first programs
for IPv6 tests.
lynx is still developed (even the steps are only short, but still developed).
This is not a bug, nor an enhancement, nor anything else. This is bugzilla.
Please report bugs, but do not start any such discussion. Thanks for
understanding.
Closing it with WORKSFORME.
