Probably some bright young mind at XFCE (or maybe Debian?) thought it
was a good idea.

After all, there is nothing Linux needs most urgently these days.
Yet *another* terminal emulator.

Right? 8^/

I don't know which party is responsible for setting the
/etc/alternatives files, could be either one.

It is.
You can find *zutty* it in the Devuan repositories for Ceres,
Excalibur and Daedalus.

Don't you know that *new and shiny* is always better than *time proven and stable*?

That said, I cannot shake the idea that *zutty* reminds me of soot.
Maybe it's my other cantankerous self acting up again.

Best,
