Back when I sent a libedit upgrade patch, before obrien update libedit on his own, I managed to build the whole tree with libedit, gdb, ntpc and others were fully functionnal with it, (at that time I totally removed libreadline) The only "problem" I see is from the ports lots of them relies on base libreadline, so we need to first run an exp-run without libreadline, to determine the impact and fix the related ports, before we can fully dropped libreadline. regards, Bapt
