I am thankful that ftp is -not- support because it finally gave me the ammo
needed to squash a clear text username/protocol on my network. 

I'm sure others will follow up, but my guess is no one really used ftp
anymore because of the security ramifications and the pita of
active/passive ftp on firewall configurations
