I think it's illustrative of the upstream for "GNU parallel" that
- It includes a /usr/bin/sql program, which is the best example of
namespace pollution I have ever thought of.
- It has a completely absurd number of options including gems such as
--skip-first-line (because tail is too hard?),

And which breaks ikiwiki-hosting if it's installed along with parallel.

I believe that this can be resolved in a way that satisfies everyone:
1) GNU parallel is packaged as gnu-parallel
2) the moreutils parallel implementation is separated into its own package:
moreutils-parallel
3) both gnu-parallel and moreutils-parallel Provide parallel
4) moreutils depends on p

I sent a grand total of two sentances to that bug report.
I will assume that "I have not had any time to work on it" did not
cause that misunder

Why not rename GNU Parallel to "para" or "gpara"? That'd avoid breaking

Is there any progress on this?
Is a special reason for keeping 'parallel' in 'moreutils' in the branch?
