Hi Roberto,
well, the information got updated to the latest stable release, and IMHO the
system default only matters for
* people using st from their repositories (which is the latest stable, 0.4.1),
so the def. matches now
* people using openbsd, which relies entirely on entries in the terminfo db
People compiling from git on non-openbsd systems should always get the latest
st.info. If you want to change the behaviour of backspace, do it and push for
a new stable release, then we can ask upstream again to incorporate these
changes :)
Best,
Nils
