@ 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.
