Well said.  About the only other common complaint about DJB's software
that I'd say was valid at some level is his deliberately non-standard
and often puzzling choices of install locations.  qmail in /var/qmail is
slightly peculiar, for instance, but for some of his standalone daemons
the choice of /service, /package, and /command (for example) gets even
stranger.  The decision to put them in very non-standard places seems
arbitrary and generally unnecessary.
