Hi Randall,
I have no problem with these utilities being available, I just think they should be /optional/, not installed by default.
And the present arrangement is not all that 'harmless' either.
I can remember at least three or four incidents ... until I figured out what was going on ... where my time and attention were diverted from working productively to suddenly troubleshooting and diagnosing an unexpected sudden drop in system responsiveness with a sustained grinding at the hard disk. Until I caught on, I was worried that my app was going to freeze or X would crash or /something/ along those lines was happening and my filesystem might get trashed or corrupted.
I say make them available but optional instead of 'springing it on them' without warning.
regards,
Carl
