I'll agree that some (but not all) programs in that category are useful, 
but calling the category itself useful seems quite a stretch. What's the 
category useful for? Useful categories have both a significant number of 
members, and a significant number of non-members; the category of 
"conforming C programs" has too few non-members to be very useful.
