yep, synchronet (devs) has to maintain that compatibility, because it is part
of the feature set.. A sysop can decide if he/she wants to kick compatibility
and support Ansi only.  2 different perspectives

For now i keep up the compatibility until i decide otherwise =)

but it is extra effort as a sysop, that you do for a very small sub-group of
an already small group. so.. i'll see.

or you offer an extra command shell in your BBS, just for the non-Ansi guys
and keep on going full Ansi with your default command shell.
