 The idea of "nail" package was to include into Fedora the newest
 implementation of the ancient /bin/mail command -- by "Heirloom mailx"
 project. The name of "nail" was chosen to not conflict with the existed
 mailx-8.x ("Nail" was an initial name of Heirloom mailx).

 Since Fedora 10, the old mailx-8.x is replaced with Herloom mailx. Thus no
 more need for "nail" package (it is now the same as the ordinary mailx).

 All "Obsoletes:" etc. are done as usual.

 Please, drop "nail" from the upcoming F10 and rawhide.
