Deprecating base system ftpd?

Speaking for myself,  like some others here,  I would find the removal of
ftp inconvenient, and if it is removed,
please could we have it in an easy to install and configure port.

We have a number of apps that transfer data,  and legacy issues mean that
it's hard to transfer to another protocol.
It's not sensitive data so the security concerns aren't an issue to us.

thanks,

Gerald,
