Are you trying to irritate me even more?

Although I personally did not particularly like the "out of /usr/bin" move, this was done by user request. I now am hated for doing something I was dragged into doing, not because I wanted the change, but only because many others wanted it, and you are dreaming that another pointless change will be made in the other direction?

Get a clue already.
