The freedom to remove it from one's system, of course.

Is not this GNU/Linux thing about freedom? Is not the Debian alternative
mechanism used by awk, vi, pager and such about freedom too?

I'm a little bit annoyed by the fact that some people here seems
to refuse to have some additional degrees of freedom.


Switching to FHS will be more trouble than making bash non-essential, BTW.
I could ask also "Which is the real gain...?". Does a FHS-compliant
system work "better" than a FSSTND one? :-)
