</I>Security isn't always a concern, and other issues may be more important 
in some context. HPC is a perfect example. Also, they are secure usage 
of rsh (and other tools relying on clear-text protocols), such as OTP 
and kerberos tokens.

&gt;<i> Telnet I can understand, as it is also used to debug network problems.
</I>&gt;<i> rsh should be dumped in order to urge the use of secure alternatives like OpenSSH, in my oppinion.
</I>Only old timers use this kind of tools, I guess they know better than 
packagers what they should do... So, as long as there is a volonteer to 
maintain a package, I don't see how dropping it would make the situation 
better for anyone.
