Wow, 7 years ago. Reminds me I've been working on Debian for nearly 15
years.
To me this would be an ideal list of things:
* top is called top, I type top and get it.
* I may have another top with another config file with the program
called something else. This is Jim's clever little toprc hack
and I can see why its useful. So perhaps I have ttop which is top
showing threads, if I want that.
* Newer tops, ideally, should read older toprc with some sane
defaults for stuff that the older toprc doesn't cover.
* If newer tops cannot understand some component in an old toprc
they silently? ignore it.
* You can somehow specify what toprc to use. Either command line
or an option.
* My preference is its a command-line option because you can do things
with aliases then. This is what a lot of other programs do.
* We can add Sami's script if required.
* If you write out a toprc on a new top then old top probably won't
like that, but then you shouldn't of done that in the first place.
