Don't break traditional UNIX compatibility when there is no good
reason to do so.  Rsh and friends (rexec, rcp) are used in more
legacy UNIX scripts than you think.

I don't know or these are part of POSIX.* or some Open Group standard
(I don't think so, as these commands originates from the BSD-world).
