I would say that a sensible rule of thumb would include
is the second part only. Otherwise by the same reasoning you should
also kill arabic, hebrew, hungarian, plan9.

Anyways, once you populate the category with picobsd, minibsd,
nanobsd and friends, and the tinyware stuff, you quickly reach
the critical mass.
