Re: 1.7.1 release date? (termcap)

We should consider termcap dead at this point. I don't even have a
/etc/termcap on my most recent Ubuntu and gentoo systems and I obviously
haven't missed it.
Portable software has to live without it now but software might
optionally look for both, also it's actually a useful reference for
occasional manual look-up of terminal features, so as long as
/etc/termcap exists, it should be kept up-to-date. I think I made this
suggestion some time ago already about another bug in termcap: either
fix it or delete it.
