What's new in Fedora 17 (The H)

With all due respect, the fact that you personally don't use a utility doesn't make it "pointless junk". I use ddate every day. As far as I'm concerned, the date command which returns the date from the Christian calendar is pointless junk, but I'm not trying to get it removed from Linux because I know that there are people who use it. ddate should have been kept for the same reason.
