[Bug 2041751] Re: RM: Remove dangerously insecure MPPE PPTP from Ubuntu

cranky when old software I use is removed just because it's no longer in
fashion. But we do try to move people to safer protocols and safer
programs over time.

Current Windows versions natively support IPSec and L2TP as much
better alternatives.
