A number of people feel the dirty limericks are close enough to the purpose of fortune for them to have been included and kept. But nobody thought it would be interesting to include pore cornography in Cygwin (or, for that matter, the full works of Shakespeare). If lots of people wanted that, then it should be done too. It all boils down to cost/benefit, benefits here being how many people find an item good to include and costs being how many don't, and maybe even file size as well. Pore cornography would probably involve lots of negative reaction and large files, and the people who like it wouldn't care since they can easily get it elsewhere. In the limericks case, the -o option seems to have the least cost/benefit ratio.
