Maybe it is because I never want to know _who_ wrote the code when I run
"cvs annotate" (I know the people working on this file or this function),
but _why_ and _when_ they wrote this code. [cvs misses --summary option.]
It is very possible that my use cases are different from yours. Are they?

It is not about disturbing, it is about the intuitive name describing the
command. For instance, I still don't know what does "spork" mean that you
defended previously. It may have something to do with the fact that my
non-technical English is on pretty much low level (never needed to speak
in this language).
At least I can find "blame" in my dictionary, as opposed to "spork". ;)

Mikhael.
