Hi again,

so far there has been only one answer to my question on debian-devel about
recycling the “open” command.

    “Please don't, or if you insist, get kbd to stop shipping it, wait for at
     least two releases and then introduce it with a new name.”

Would you agree to remove /bin/open and let others introduce an unrelated
program as /usr/bin/open in Jessie+1 ?

Have a nice day,
