I CC'd him (and tkorbar) on the first mail in this thread, and I only
started this thread after emailing them directly to discuss it (I
probably should have mentioned that I'd already run it by them).
Nikola suggested in that private discussion that retiring mailx was
probably the way to go, so I started this thread.

I think he's already on board with the change, and I think everybody
would be happier to Just Do It without a change proposal. I just
wanted to start a discussion and make sure the right process was
followed.

It sounds like I'm not the only person to waste time scratching my
head at the heirloom-mailx fossil, and so we should just retire it!
