I've already seen some distros using 'alias pico=nano'. If we get that, and also 'alias pine=mutt', it would be fine (although I don't use any, I know many ppl that come from other Unixes that are addicted to pico).
Are you joking? Imagine a user who used to use pine since years. He types "pine" into a shell and mutt starts instead. What should this user think? You can maybe display an alert like: "pine is no longer part of openSUSE, if you want to use it, please download it from..." but you cannot start another program by using an alias without telling the user what's happening. That's a usability nightmare. BTW: The same is valid of course for pico=nano. -- Martin
