Deprecating ps(1)s -w switch

On Wed, Aug 26, 2009 at 11:40:09PM -0700 I heard the voice of
Brian Somers, and lo! it spake thus:

FWIW, I'm in favor of at least carefully examining whether the cons
really disqualify the change.  My uses of ps pretty well fall into
three categories:

1) The times I use -ww
2) The times it doesn't matter whether I did or not
3) The times I wish I'd used -ww, sometimes way later in the game when
   a script *DOESN'T* do what it's supposed to because ps isn't
   actually giving me the command.  Thanks, ps.
