I understand the rationale behind deleting or moving most of these
files. However, I personally use gnu.xpm and sink.xbm. Are they
quaint? Probably. Unused? No. Why did you delete them?
I also think that SERVICE is useful information to have around, enough
so that I put in the effort to update it just a few months ago. What is
the rationale for tossing it out?
I was going to ask for some discussion before tossing out stuff that you
think is junk, then realized that that was something my wife is likely
to say to me. :-)
