>Description:

Some guys of the BSD Crew Dresden noticed, that there is a tetris(6) in
/rescue and we didn't realy find a reasonable explanation for this.
Today I read in netbsd-users, that it was an April 1st commit.  Some
minutes ago, we discussed this in SILC (silc.bsd-crew.de, Channel
=BBbsd-crew=AB) and asked ourselves, if it's still April 1st and what
this... thingy still does in /rescue. =20

Could someone please remove it or do we (where =BBwe=AB doesn't only mean
our gang, but all NetBSD users) have to live with it there forever?  Is
there any serious reason why somebody needs a _game_ in a _minimal_
_rescue environment_?  I don't want to believe that my ./build.sh will
fail in _rescue_ when I exclude =BBgames=AB from =BBsrc=AB.

 I like an OS made by people with a sense of humor.  That includes,
 e.g., tetris in /rescue and bad puns in man pages (tunefs(8)).

 Now if there's a good technical argument, like that those 8K that
 tetris adds really makes a rescue floppy impossible to make
 because it overflows, then I think it should be removed.
 But otherwise, I think it's still a good joke. :)

 I didn't intend my list to be exhaustive.  I hope the
 list is much longer!  :-)

  	I'd also like to see it back, but with an option to disable it.

 We've got such an option - "edit src/rescue/list".

 (Build options are evil. We should be stamping them out, not creating
 new ones).
