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.
