GNU: we generally do not accept new packages that substantially overlap with an existing GNU package. As a coherent system, it is better for GNU to have a given package to do a given job, and people in that area to contribute to and improve that package, working together, instead of having many packages that each do different parts of a job, each developed on its own. Similarly, a small program often fits better as part of an existing package than being a new package of its own. Also GNU: *has 5 text editors (ed, emacs, moe, nano, and zile) and 4 implementations of scheme (guile, kawa, MIT/GNU Scheme, SCM) *
