I heartily agree. The nice thing about a "standard" system is that
there are features you can count on. Many are not used on the typical
installation, yet I rarely remove them unless there is a compelling
reason -- things change over time.

Hell -- if we're going to get rid of "bloat", let's get rid of grep
and sed, since very few newbies understand regular expressions -- or 
the man pages -- few read them and they take up a _huge_ amount of
space;)

(Only my 2 bits)
