Why does Blootbot redirect here? I think it's pretty notable, considering that it's in practically every distro's repository (Debian/ubuntu, Gentoo, SuSE and I believe Arch) and that infobot has been mostly displaced by it. 76.180.120.161 07:12, 5 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There was previously a distinct Blootbot article, but it was nominated for deletion due to a perceived lack of notability on its own. Thus several editors agreed that a merger of that article into Infobot was the way to go at that time. I think the Infobot article is not overly long and the section Blootbot could be expanded here with more info. However, if there are citations supporting independent notability of Blootbot, I'd certainy support extracting it back out onto its own page. DMacks 15:03, 5 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
