   I gather you mean that as the start of test archives and alpha
   testing.

Yes!

   (The bootstrap script is presently only minimally out of date.)

   Documentation is reasonably up to date, since I have tried to let
   my changes enter also there.

Good work!

   Unfortunately, telnetd is broken on Arch Linux, probably due to
   util-linux. Printing of responses from the server on the client
   screen is missing in important parts.  (User name and password
   exchange must be done blind-folded!)  The server works correctly
   with Debian, FreeBSD and Solaris, so the problem seems specific to
   Arch Linux.

Is this something we can fix easily?  Why does util-linux break
telnetd?  Do you think we should fix it for this release?
