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
