    So? Large majority code running in any distro was developed by third parties. This means nothing. It's a part of Slackware. It was announced in Tue Sep 16 11:20:30 PDT 2003 that it…

    Because you weren't supposed to see it there. Because it was never announced. Because it was never planned to be in there. It might happen in the future, but as of now Slackware (a…
