Actually, that was a large portion of my point :-) There are many things in
/usr/games that are not games, they are actually useful utilities. Nuking
the entire directory would not only eliminate fluff, it would also take out
a number of mathematical and text-processing utilities with it.

I would get behind a proposal to eliminate all the real "games" while leaving
the rest, but I strongly oppose deleting the whole directory.
