I suspect it's mostly about ortogonality. Why doesn't "drop" really
remove the file? Why doesn't creating a file automagically add it
(yeah, I know there's a technological challenge there, but let's
disregard that for the sake of the argument, eh? :-))?
On the other hand, we're moving toward automagick handling of the
execute bit...
Cheers,
Richard
