* login/sulogin/passwd/getty/etc are part of tinylogin, and so are not
needed or wanted in busybox (or else I'd have to link to libcrypt).
-* Networking apps are going to be split out to a new package called netkit-tiny
- before the next release of Busybox. This will remove the following items
- from BusyBox: hostid, hostname, nc, nslookup, telnet, and ping. nfs
- mounting and syslogd (network logging) will remain in BusyBox.
+* We _were_ going to split networking apps into a new package called
+ netkit-tiny. Per discussions on the mailing list, this isn't going
+ to happen. False alarm. Sorry about the confusion.

reveals the list of all external (i.e. libc) things that BusyBox depends on.
It would be a very nice thing to reduce this list to an absolute minimum, to
-reduce the footprint of busybox when staticly linking with libraries such as
-uClibc.
+reduce the footprint of busybox, especially when staticly linking with
+libraries such as uClibc.
