today's heartwarming #inbox:---I just wanted to thank you for curl. I've used it all the time since I started graduate school and throughout my professional life. I was surprised to find out it wasn't a Linux built-in but a separate project! You are the first person I think of when seeing XKCD 2347.Your software has made my programming life easier in innumerable ways, andI thought you'd want to hear that. Thanks for making something so greatand supporting it for so long.

@bagder curl should really be adopted by GNU core utils.

@Rastal GNU has requirements on participating projects that curl will not accept: its license being the most notable thing. Besides, I see no point in being part of core utils. We are better off completely independent.
