Considered and discarded because it doesn't allow for "serendipitous

the non-conflicting GNU tools, and one of our goals is to make those
tools readily visible -- so that refugees from other OSes will feel
more at home on Solaris.

Rather than flaming all of those people who worked hard on the
/usr/gnu case, I suggest that you read the archives from when we
debated this and, if you still disagree, then open a new ARC case to
propose a new direction that everyone can agree to.

These issues discussed at length, though, and the people you're
dealing with here are not utter morons, so I think you should expect a
bit of resistance in developing a new consensus.
