Quiet voice from a lurker here to say +0.1 to moving grep up to where it should be from a "technical" side (I don't lay claim to any more than that little bit of a vote)... I remember the alphabetizing from when it happened and understood the reasoning, it makes the placement of things that are otherwise capable of being handled in parallel sensible while making things that are needed sooner stand out simply because they are out of order. It also forced a newer look into what actually *was* needed when, which is always useful to do once in a while.

And looks like Dan Nicholson, with the lack of disagreement from all others involved, made the final move of adding the symlink (rather than moving the package). @Bryan: As for what your stance was then, it looks like you were on a vacation at the time, first time I see your name was over a week later ;) -- Poison [BLX] Joshua M.
