* I don't see any reason not to let you do what you want, but this change * seems to be a little more gratuitous than all the rest. I mean, like you * say, everything is Unix is a utility, so I don't see where "misc" gives * any more or less info to users than "utils". One, it will let porters think once more before adding stuff to it. It wasn't a long time before it filled up and "sysutils" and "emulators" were spawned off, and it's starting to grow again! Two, it will provide a "catch-all" for things that truly don't belong elsewhere, like "astrolog". Satoshi
