Re: [PATCH] Remove Roland McGrath et al. from libc.so banner


I'd like to suggest that if such a change is made it should be made more 
thoroughly - also removing the "Available extensions:" author details from 
Banner files.  Probably the whole Banner mechanism should be removed 
(again, making sure contrib.texi has adequate credits for the things 
removed from Banner files).  The only actual variable information it 
presents is whether add-ons (i.e. libidn) are enabled, and there's a case 
for simply making libidn unconditional and removing the add-ons mechanism 
as well.
