Re: ITP: mencal -- A menstruation calendar
Someone found the need for it and wrote the program. Someone else found
if worthy of their time to package it. Who are you to judge whether
it's useful or not? If it turns out to not be useful, sooner or later
it will be orphaned, get really stale, and eventually get dropped from
the archive. A collection of "stupid little scripts", as call it, is
not likely to bloat the archive any more than 20 web browsers based on
gecko will.
