^^^^^^ ?
I can't follow your arguments here, Terry. When I type this I
get "strange" other results ;-)
% which top
/usr/bin/top
It's in the main source tree ! Good morning ;-)

This tools is simply too system-dependant to maintain it
in the ports collection.
User names with more than 8 characters is already FreeBSD specific.
And because of this FreeBSD specific change it would be fine,
fix this FreeBSD specific behaviour not to waste 16 colums space, if
the displayed user id's consume perhaps only 7 characters. This would
leave more space for showing the executed command.
Otherwise I'd follow your thoughts ...
