It's like saying "if you need this option, go to Linux" - it just seems
wrong.
With all respect to "series of small utilities" way of doing things, I
think the "whatever is shorter to type" takes precedence :)
And it's not like the added code will have to be changed/maintained in
the forseeable future - if the basic implementation is ok, the
underlying structures and ideas will not change while UFS semantics are
in use.
