Hi, Lionel, happy to read you

I have been looking at popcons and seems that regarding ispell dicts
ifrench-gut is way more popular than ifrench, but on the hunspell side
the winner is hunspell-fr (which pulls hunspell-fr-classical)

ifrench     168
myspell-fr     775

ifrench-gut     21419
myspell-fr-gut     375

hunspell-fr     11618
hunspell-fr-classical     11565

I do not know about the merits of the different ispell dicts, but
keeping ifrench-gut ispell dict  seems reasonable. On the other hand,
unless it provides something better, dropping myspell-fr-gut as a real
dict seems also reasonable, but this really requires more feedback
from french users.

Regards,
