Because they match the first definition of Important in Policy (see below). When I released my first version of bc/dc I downgraded them to Optional by mistake and someone complained; that's obviously one person who agrees with me. Does anyone else think bc/dc should be downgraded? (If so, why?) ``Important programs, including those which one would expect to find on any Unix-like system. If the expectation is that an experienced Unix person who found it missing would go `What the F*!@<+ is going on, where is foo', it should be in important. This is an important criterion because we are trying to produce, amongst other things, a free Unix.''
