Indeed! Wow. I just checked and apparently this has been implemented
mainly for WSL, already since build 14926.
The remaining problem is that we still have non-W10 users.
So I think the right thing to do is to keep ping in a separate package.
Marco, the ping you're maintaining isn't IPv6 capable, as far as I can
see.
Marco and Takashi, what about using ping/ping6 from inetutils but
providing them in a ping package on their own? Would you mind to
discuss this between the two of you? Whatever you two come up with is
fine with me.
Thanks,
Corinna
