I guess I need to paint a picture...
The libcrypt* in /usr/lib is a symlink.
It points to a "...stripped down [libcrypt] under '[libcrypt]'"
that tries to "pretend to be a full version (f.e for [passwd],
etc.".
I should think the analogy between doing for libreadline
what FreeBSD _already does_ for libcrypt should be obvious,
now...
So if you aren't willing to "fix" libcrypt to be the real
thing under FreeBSD, now that export restrictions have been
relaxed, I don't think you have any right to complain when
someone does _exactly the same thing_, making libreadline*
a symlink to libedit*, since your unwillingness to fix the
former makes doing that "common, accepted practice".
