Dear Piotr,

thanks for your bug report. I'm not sure why /usr/games would not comply
with FHS, according to the current standard (2.3) that directory is
optional, but allowed. Why do you think that rot13 needs to be moved
to /usr/bin?

Regards,
Tobias

Because rot13 is a general purpose utility, while /usr/games is for,
well, games. I need to process rot13-encoded data while running as a
system user, whose PATH doesn't include /usr/games. This bug is, of
course, trivial to work around, but still it would be nice if it was
fixed.
