Removing it is going to cause quite a bit of confusion. I have to concurr here. Who knows what's going to break when this is removed. It seems to have an established place on every UNIX workalike out there. I say keep it. If you don't like it, then don't use it. Cheers, Emiel (who hopes for not another flamewar.
