Yes.  I honestly don't care enough about doscmd(8) to want any changes from 
the current situation, but my reading of the thread was that the consensus 
was, if anything, to wait until 6.0.  Upon re-reading the thread, I do see 
that while DES did say he would provide patches to do what he did, he never 
sent a mail saying 'Ok, here are the patches I'm going to commit on foo day' 
whereas Tim did sent out a RFC before doing actual action.  Given the amount 
of pushback that Tim's request received, it seems to me it would have been 
good form to have at least posted something to the effect of 'Ok, I've got 
the patches do this now and am going to do so.'
