Whether to keep the abort(3) joke in the C library manual depends on
several broader issues.  We need to resolve some of them in general
before trying to decide that specific question.

What I can specifically say in this context is that this joke opposes
censorship, and the GNU Project opposes censorship.  So it is not an
unrelated political issue.
