My personal opinion is that one of the developers (like Rob or Chris) should
just fix the categories for various packages like 'more' or 'which' that are 
currently in Base. Please do so for 'more' or let me know what to do.

With 'more' I wanted it to be in the *default* install but not in *base*. 
(how??)

                    23k, uncompressed. Plus another ~10k of docs.

Actually, I don't know if even fileutils should be 'base'. Does something
depend on
'ls', 'mv', etc? (/etc/profile depends on 'id' in shellutils I think.) And, if 
the big-ksh-thing becomes a package, it would be theoretically possible that 
someone just wants their AT&T tools and not GNU.
