 I oppose this on the grounds that it violates the traditional Unix model
 of small programs that do one thing well, rather than large programs that
 incorporate functionality found elsewhere.

 Doug,
 
 Would it have made you feel better if I had submitted a standalone
 application, named 'reniceall' (re: killall), with additional
 worthless functionality?  Changing the niceness of processes in a
 jail perhaps!  hrmmmm!!!   Really, where has the line been drawn?
