Ben, would you help with this?  (The earlier draft reminded one of
knives not software, as you recall.)  How to fix it?

Tag: role::sw:utility
Description: Lean, tightly focused tools, normally run non-interactively
 Lean, tightly focused tools, normally run non-interactively, which
 .
   * report the state of the system in some respect (as find);
   * automate a well defined task (as cp or dpkg-reconfigure);
   * filter a stream of text or data (as sed);
   * display data in a simple, non-interactive way (as xloadimage); or
   * fetch and/or put data by a specific protocol (as rsync),
     implement a basic client to such a protocol (as ssh), or
     talk to a daemon.
 .
 Also, basic tools which provide generic front ends with unembellished
 interfaces (as bash, xterm or login); basic, unembellished, scriptable,
 command-line-oriented administration and configuration tools (as dpkg
 or apt-get); minimalistic dockapps (as wmclock) and other simple X
 tools (as 9menu); primitive line-oriented tools (as more or ed)
 controllable by stdin; and other lean tools in the utility spirit.
 .
 Most packages will get no more than one of the four tags
 role::sw:{utility,daemon,application,amusement}.
