I'd say because bozohttpd is excellent for using in an embedded device.=20
And we tout how we're good for embedded. We used it at Wasabi, Thor's=20
using it, and a few other folks are using it too. By putting it in base,=20
we:

1) Reduce duplication. By having it in base, we reduce patch maintenance=20
duplication and other bits of code maintenance. We reduce the effort to=20
make it cross-compile since it is part of base.

2) Provide something out of the box that a number of folks want.

Why? I agree we don't want to put everything in base. But on a=20
case-by-case basis, I think it's fine if not appropriate to put stuff in=20
base. This seems like a good fit for base.

It also stays out of the way. It's in libexec, so no one will find it by=20
accident.

Take care,

Bill
