to add on the torrent client, ktorrent seems pretty much on life support and has troubles dealing with magnet links. I switched to qbittorrent but transmission is a very worthy alternative, with optional gtk and qt gui, and as a bonus was also recently rewritten in c++
Well, I've heard that the server guys really hate the torrent clients, because they are capable to eat all available bandwidth.
Anyway, the Slackware ships the lovely console Torrent client named BitTornado since the Tutankhamen times - it's within /extra .
IMO, bittornado should be removed from /extra
because it is an abandoned project with no development
since 2006 and even then it was (and still is)...
"BitTornado is TheSHAD0W's experimental version of Bram Cohen's BitTorrent utility."

Since DKIM (and maybe DMARC) become[s] quite mandatory while setting up a mail server, what about including opendkim and opendmarc on the next Slackware release?
Do you mean to say that python2 is not linked to from any other packages
therefore, you have completely removed python2 from your system ?
NO , i not say nothing more use python2 but is one app more migrated to python3
And yes , i have 1 experimental box without python2 with slackware 15.0 , in -current is more easy work , minor number of packages provides python2 things.

A cursory check shows...
--- checklib.sh ---
#!/bin/sh
cd /var/adm/packages
for pkg in *; do
( cd /
while read line; do
[ "$line" == "FILE LIST:" ] && break
done
while read f; do
[ -x "$f" ] && objdump -x "$f" 2>/dev/null|grep NEEDED|grep -Eq $1 && echo $pkg && break
done
) < $pkg
done | sed -u 's/-[^-]*-[^-]*-[^-]*$//'

as an example , download and open de vulume_key package , then you can see how it provides python2 and python3 modules , nothing need but package provides , packages can be rebuild without python2.
As i say , nmap are different and important , cause not a lib , its a program with gui , where the only way is disable gui or get a github tarball from development, but the new release are officially ported to python3 , no loose the gui , or some tools like ndiff.
Removeing python2 its more easy now , but ... not my decision , wait for it, or make your custom rebuilds :=)
Vala 0.56.8
===========
* Various improvements and bug fixes:

- valadoc: Backing method of lambda-expression isn't included in valadoc AST
- valadoc/tests: Add girwriter test
- build: Improve usage of AC_PATH_PROG() for valacs
- build: valadoc requires valac 0.18.1
* Bindings:
- gio-2.0: Add new symbols from 2.76
- glib-2.0: Add new symbols from 2.76
- glib-2.0: Fix binding of g_variant_type_n_items()
- gtk4: Don't skip AlertDialog ctor
Since no one requested it, I'd propose removing QtAV Player and QtAV QML Player (or at least change the default). They are unintuitive to use, loaded with bugs, and barely supports video formats other than MP4. Even xine-ui fares better.
It would be lovely if we ditch this in favor of MPV and its KDE frontend, Haruna.
