Do we have an agreed and shared definition of 'utility'?  At the moment,
I pulled this from the role::sw:utility description:

 A program designed for general support of the processes of a computer.
 .
 Applications which are useful to attain a goal, but which are not
 the specific application to use to solve that goal.

Is this ok?

That's sensible.  And they'd be very easy to identify as
'role::sw:application && use::gameplaying'.

Right.  And since one can put any software instead of a shell, if we tag
shells with use::login we would have to tag any software with use::login

They should all have disappeared when I removed
'works-with::rasterimage' from the vocabulary.


Ciao,
