	_NO_ ! Please do Not do this.

If you later do
	mv gs gs2 ; mv gs3 gs
I could live with that,
but a lot of us do Not want to move further away from PD src, 
so leave us the option of gs2 Please.

CD-ROM is not our only constraint,
supplying an ftp'd FreeBSD + gs3 to customers is more problematic 
than FreeBSD + gs2.

GS is also used by packages such as hylafax & maybe xv etc, 
so we will have to be very careful about testing any rename first,

Personally I'd prefer we leave thing named	
	gs & gs3	rather than	gs & gs2
