Unix purists bullies another project

check post at origin

A mastodon post from @rustynova.mastodon.social, saying: Due to multiple complaints about "Not following the Unix philosophy", the `alistral sex` command will be removed in the next version. You will be able to keep it working by keeping the v0.6.9's executable and setting a custom cache database location to prevent conflict with the database version. Sorry for the inconvenience. Stay tuned for a standalone version under the `alistsex` name.

Hopefully it’s funny enough to offset that I’m reposting my own post.

I know generally what alistral is, but I’ve never uses it. What does the “sex’ command do or what’s the joke about it? The description is blank in the documentation and I’m too exhausted from work to dig into the code repo, lol.
