Huh...  they go to /usr/local by default (easily changeable with 
`make prefix=...`), which is pretty bare to begin with and with the 
fact that they don't package hardly anything in man1, the conflict 
potential goes down even further.  Ah well, I guess I just keep 
making it manually from a cloned repo.

bash-completion is a separate/disconnected project (now located at 
https://github.com/scop/bash-completion), it doesn't align its 
releases with bash itself.  bash-completion 2.7-2.10 require bash 
4.1+, 2.11 bumped that to 4.2.  Since we're at 4.4, I don't think 
that's a showstopper (BICBW).



And thanks again for the findutils update.  4.7 gave us 
comma-delimited -type/-xtype specs, so a "( -type p -o -type s )" 
(shown non-quoted for sanity's sake) becomes "-type p,s".  :thumbsup:
