@ page 0 line 0 section UUCP, UUSTAT, UUX objection {3844718}

Problem:

Edition of Specification (Year): 2003

Defect code :  1. Error

With the overwhelming adoption of TCP/IP and its associated SMTP, FTP and other 
higher-level protocols, the functionality provided by UUCP is essentially 
deprecated and was retired from our platform (to general acclaim) almost 2 
years ago.  We believe that the Internet has evolved past it and it should 
be removed from the specification.

Action:

The uucp suite of tools for UNIX-to-UNIX file copying should be removed from 
the specification.  This includes uucp, uustat, and uux.
