--- Comment #2 from A.J. "Fonz" van Werven <freebsd at skysmurf.nl> ---
There has been no additional feedback from anyone else, so I figured it's time
to move this along (in whatever direction).

Although I agree that ls(1) already has many options, that same argument can
easily be bent and shaped the other way around to say: if there are already 256
options, what does one more matter?

And another argument is that, as far as I can see, stat(1)-based and similar
one-liners don't work too well with other ls(1) options.

However, I think I might have come up with another solution: how about if I
create a port instead? That way everybody wins: the FreeBSD source tree remains
blissfully unaffected, yet those who like this feature (it wasn't my idea, but
I liked it enough to implement it) can install it from the ports tree.

If it's agreed that creating a port is a better way to go, this bug can be
closed as far as I'm concerned.
