spoilerHopefully it's funny enough to offset that I'm reposting my own post.

A mastodon post from @rustynova.mastodon.social, saying: Due to multiple complaints about "Not following the Unix philosophy", the `alistral sex` command will be removed in the next version.   You will be able to keep it working by keeping the v0.6.9's executable and setting a custom cache database location to prevent conflict with the database version.   Sorry for the inconvenience. Stay tuned for a standalone version under the `alistsex` name.

This is also why SMTP is such a fucked up protocol. It was designed so that you could just follow the email protocol by hand. HTTP as well followed this philosophy (up to 2.0 at least). A decade or so ago there was a bug in outlook where you couldn't have a line with only a period in it because that's the end-of-email signal in SMTP.
