OK， I am system administrator, I manage a server cluster for years, i really need nslookup tools to diagnostic the network health. i thought there be many more people here will be in trouble. Who will be affected by this change, may be the system administrators. may be the normal users. After upgraded their system or reinstall system, they found their lovely tools disappeared. Every changes should be clear and help people out the trouble. No trouble,no Suffering please.
