I always thought the criteria for inclusion of things into the base system was: 1. Needed for 'make world'; 2. Needed to get a basic functioning server up and running; 3. Something usefull only within FreeBSD (like the kernel ;), or 4. Can't be effectively built outside of /usr/src. If {g77|f77} can be built as a port, using the system EGCS, then to port's it goes. Otherwise why don't we include the Top 20 ports, or maybe the Top 25, or...
