So we have one example where people disagree that it is still unix
and another one where people disagree over if it ever was unix.

Meanwhile, every serious unix has always had /usr/sbin/traceroute.

Now people are arguing that debian must move traceroute for reasons
of consistency.  I should really start crossposting this thread to 
some freebsd ml[1].  It is evil enough already, mentioning aix and irix 
failed to kill the thing.  Godwin have mercy on our souls.

thing is in any reasonable way related to security.
