The only thing I can say is that this code has been around since quite some time and is in use at many places without any problems. This is nothing big, actually really small, but it is really useful. And since Wake-on-LAN is now in almost all computers I think having a tool to use it is justified. This little command can not make your computer crash, nor cause any problems, so I really do not fully understand why all the fuss around it (e.g. I find that some people are exaggerating a little bit, given how small of an addition wake(8) actually is).
