src/gnu/dist/gcc/f/... FORTRAN was at least anticipated, even if it was a
while away, since BSD had it Way Back When.
Same with netiso, etc.; we _want_ to put reliable stuff in tree to support
it. The low popularity of these types of things has probably been a
contributing factor to why we've sat around doing nothing with them. ;)
On the other hand, I don't see us _ever_ putting TeX in the tree.
