   Politics. It's been placed in a ``public'' search path.

   The last time I placed something there with a standard name (.e.g, the
   `man' that came across comp.sources.unix) without exactly the same
   semantics, trouble arose.

might I suggest a separate directory:
	/usr/local/bin/gnu/
then users can choose their search path order ...

not to discourage the placement of GNU programs in /usr/local/bin/
where that makes sense for you and your users.
