Unfortunately all the quick hacks and
poorly-considered tweaks of the
past have long since been cast in stone by widespread convention
There seem to be two kind of people in the world; i) those who cannot bring
themselves to change anything, and ii) those who change all sort of things,
usually with no good reason (perhaps just to be different).
The world of Unix seems to be thickly stocked with both.
