Maybe it sounds harsh, but the originals are often pretty inspired,
and it's not that easy to quickly churn outs stuff that's equally good;
if we distribute a file filled with randomly solicited replacements, I
expect the result will disappoint those people who use yow.
I'm not sure whether that's better or worse than the command simply
ceasing to work...
