I guess they're gradually pushing the envelope as far as what's
appropriate to put there. I suppose eventually everything that's not
user home directories and not static system files will wind up there.

I believe Debian and SuSE do bundle ht://Dig in their distributions, but
Red Hat and Mandrake don't. If enough Red Hat and Mandrake users requested
ht://Dig, I suppose they might begin to bundle it too.
