wake(8) is smaller and it is actually something needed in base.  in  
modern, ecological "green computing" environments we put the client  
machines, like our POS terminals to sleep at night.  In the morning,   
a cronjob from the central server wakes up all machines using this  
command.  more and more systems support it, so havin a wake command in  
base is just about right.
