The latter applies to practically everything in the system; as for the
former, if you start trimming everything that anyone thinks "nobody"
uses, there won't be much left. (My own list would start with UUCP.)

Nothing specific to NetBSD, true. But the same is true of probably at
least 75% of the programs we ship. Nearly anything in /usr/bin is an
example.

If one person never using it is a reason to remove something, at least
2/3 of /usr/bin and /usr/sbin can go, because I am probably never ever
going to use them.
