Nothing new should IMO be getting added to /usr/sfw it was in hindsight 
not the best way to resolve an issue that no longer exists.

The reason for /usr/gnu is the same as the reason for /usr/xpg?/ it is 
there ONLY to host conflicts between a GNU variant and an already 
existing program of the same name (that may or may not function the 
same), where the already existing GNU one can not be replaced with 100% 
compat with the GNU one.

Are people reading the whole set of case material before commenting or 
just looking at the draft man page gnu(5) ?
