I would like to lend my voice of support for this action. We have too
many programs that have needlessly drifted since the mid 1990's when
4.xBSD BSD split into {Free,Net,Open}BSD[*]. Why do we need to have
different versions of cat?
Some programs the drift has been good, but for others it is just drift
that can easily be reeled in.
