But as you just said yourself, those things which fall into the
"useful" category also AREN'T GAMES, so why the heck would you want to
preserve /usr/src/games strictly for a family of utilities which don't
even belong there?

By all means, move the misfiled items into /usr/src/usr.bin or
wherever they belong as non-games, but don't preserve this hierarchy
for the very worst of reasons, please!
