I've had that part documented in the busybox "TODO" file since about
February...  Here it is, for the curious:

    * Networking apps are probably going to be split out some time soon into a
        separate package (named perhaps netkit-tiny?).  This would remove the
	following items from BusyBox: hostid, hostname, nc, nslookup, telnet, and
	ping.  nfs mounting and syslogd (network logging) will remain in BusyBox.

Already there (though not working yet -- mostly just a dumping ground
so far for bits and pieces of code)...

I work quickly (sometimes ;-)

But of course!  :-)
