I'm not sure who all cares, but I've used mrtest for a long time, for
several different reasons, especially when I was doing work for
accounts and needed quick and easy access to moira.  The curses client
doesn't work well when using a system that doesn't support curses
(emacs) or when using an xterm below a certain height, and it can't do
things like this:

  ; alias mqy
  echo "connect\
              auth\
              query !*\
              quit" | mrtest |& sed "s/moira:  //g" | sendme

(which may be a good thing, but still. :-)

Consider this a tester objecting to the change.
