Hmm. Then the question becomes, does `discourse-doctor` install `nc` just for one test that might not be necessary, or just say, “well, you don’t have `nc`, so you’re on your own to see that you have ports open and mapped correctly.”?

I don’t like installing software if it’s not necessary. I think I’ll change the message to recommend installing `nc` if they want it.

@codinghorror? @mpalmer want to weigh in?
