I tend to disagree, but there is always the compromise Mr. Szczesniak already proposed (because it facilitates risk management and test coverage and is therefore a win/win solution for both sides): Put grep/xargs&cohorts into libcmd but do not enable them. Those who dare to issue a builtin grep or builtin od in their code have to lick their wounds themselves if something bad happens.
