Then, add the wake program to ports.
My opinion is that this better be kept in ports.

I find it a rather basic operation to be able to wake up remote
systems from a central place, so I think base is the right place for
this.  Wak-on-LAN as become part of our everydays IT infrastructure,
as much as we support it in BIOSes and ifconfig's, we should also
support waking up systems.

There are infinite amount of things that are essential for some
operations. Just looking around, I found dhcp server, http servers,
scripting languages, X, vpns and so on. Hopefully, our base system will
not grow to include that too.

I actively oppose to the bloat of the base system, and I consider the
tool to be unappropriate for it. Use ports. Please.

I really don't consider a ~4K command bloat. For this kind of commands/stuff, base is the right place.
