I presume you know what more has been removed from the tree in 5.X
and replaced by less. Also csh has been removed and replaced with
tcsh.

Personally I think the fact that alot of people expect a colourising
ls in the base system, and the relatively small nature of the change
make it worth it. What we really need is either some sort of
objective metric to evaluate these type of changes, or a simple
system where people vote and see what the general feeling is.
