I always thought the criteria for inclusion of things into the base
system was:
1. Needed for 'make world';
2. Needed to get a basic functioning server up and running;
3. Something usefull only within FreeBSD (like the kernel ;), or
4. Can't be effectively built outside of /usr/src.
If {g77|f77} can be built as a port, using the system EGCS, then to
port's it goes. Otherwise why don't we include the Top 20 ports, or
maybe the Top 25, or...
Regards,
-Jeremy
