Hello.

I'd like to ask the following question. illumos-gate provides 
service/network/ftp and related packages (sources are in 
usr/src/cmd/cmd-inet/usr.sbin/in.ftpd). What do you think about it? I 
mean, for example, we can replace service/network/ftp with proftpd. Or 
add one more service/network/proftpd package, perhaps moving some 
proftpd files so that they don't conflict with wu-ftpd. Or perhaps, just 
ignore it and wait until illumos folk replace it with proftpd...
