-# Before complaining about this, please *double-check* that you have
-# updated the ldconfig path in /etc/rc to include /usr/lib/compat that
-# was added in src/etc/rc rev 1.98.
-# This is so that `ld' will not continue to generate binaries linked
-# shared against libtelnet, so that in a future release we can move this
-# off to a compat dist (like compat22).
+# Remove obsolete shared libraries, if any.  We don't bother moving them
+# to/usr/lib/compat, since they were only used by telnet, telnetd and
+# tn3270.
