I've got 209 zmagic binaries[1] on my main machine, which I am
planning on rolling up to 2.2.x sooner or later. Having things
like yellow pages, telnet, ftp, and trn go south would be a
moderately unpleasant experience, though the machine probably
wouldn't get the the point where I'd notice, since libc 4.8.0
on pell is a ZMAGIC shared library.
