RIP: Network utility

[nopster]

Let me first say I didn't download Big Sur before yesterday, nor betas/GM.
Now that I upgraded to Big Sur, the first thing I missed out is Network Utility. Although I can already use terminal commands, GUI was so cute to easily execute ping, traceroute, whois.

+ VERY BAD RIP +

Is it possible to run the Catalina version?

Yes, I am one of user which often using Network Utility, even it always sitting on my docks (Mojave)

Sadly without proper reason Apple decide to killed it. Maybe eventually Apple would stripped out their utility folder? Stupidly, Apple still leave apps remnants there just to tell we should use Terminal instead, why not to remove everything altogether ?

Previously on Catalina worked well. I remember I simply made a desktop alias to invoke the app.

FYI, if you have a backup of the Catalina version of Network Utility, you can run it in Big Sur.
