The only argument I have for keeping identd, is that there are some internet
facilities, like certain IRC servers, that refuse your connection if you don't
have it.  It would be unfortunate to not provide it to users because we think
it's a stupid idea.  Yes it's stupid, but some of our users might want to use
IRC.
