Sat 16 Dec 2017 06:19:23 PM UTC, comment #3: We cannot remove support for Slang because Jordi needs it. Or rather: Debian needs it for their nano-tiny. See http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/nano-devel/2016-08/msg00068.html. As resizes do not work in the tiny version anyway, it's not really a problem that they don't work when using Slang. |

This is with 64-bit Slackware 14.2, under Slang 2.3.0 (although it also occurs after manually upgrading to Slang 2.3.1a).

And some brokenness cannot be worked around (at least: I don't know how) -- see bug #49771. If it were possible to work around that one, I would do that -- it would make for a much more capable nano-tiny on Debian.
