I suppose so. I put my stuff in there when I don't consider it worth my effort 
to autoconf-iscate it. Things like nssov only work with Linux, so there's no 
point in adding the overhead. Stuff in there really is of too limited use to 
warrant the full effort of maintenance that the core code gets.
