The way I see it, you _need_ a functionality (editor, shell, ls(1),
printing daemon), not a specific implementation ('fluff'). There is pkgsrc
for the latter.

That is why we ship vi(1), not XEmacs; csh(1), not tcsh(1); lpd(8), not
cups. And that is why we (so far) abstain from shipping an ls(1) that
shines in nine screaming colours.

Cheerio,
