I think the "users can't do anything" part is pretty subjective. I guess
I can understand not wanting to add anything new to base right now, but
why are 'diff', 'sed', 'which' in base right now? Because there was a
(arbitrary) list of packages for a "minimal" install:

(BTW, the list includes 'less' but that was left out for some reason.)
Here's a link to much later discussion of the issue, too:
