I use CTM (even though I have DSL flat rate). Apart from direct subscribers,
there may be people on exploders. CTM Generator
        Stephen Montgomery-Smith (cc'd) might know,
At least one friend used to ftp the deltas, but didn't get them by 
subscription. Other friend used to copy my local copy (no longer, but maybe     
 others do).  What with the mirrors, one can't know who gets it that way.
Occasionally they end up on magazine CDROMs too etc.

Try inverting the question !
Or to be fair to all, phrase question neutraly:
"Would on balance, after all aspects & users etc are considered, 
FreeBSD be a better or worse `product', if CTM was in src/ or ports/ ? "

My Opinion, FWIW: I recall the source is small, please leave CTM in src/.
My 2c.: Throw out 4M of games/ if you need to save space.

Other opinions ? (Don't forget to cc: Mark Murray <mark at grondar.org>
who may not be on this ctm-users at freebsd.org  list)
