I think in the case of LNX-BBC that it's more a waste of space, but that's not 
what's at issue here. Usability and usefullness are two different things. In 
his story about the Hole Hawg, Neal Stephenson clearly distinguished between 
the usability and usefullness of Unix. I'm all for making LNX-BBC as useful 
as possible.
