I futher propose that the stuff we drop goes in BABEL package, which is doesn't make any guarantees about anything -- just a grab-bag of stuff that doesn't fit in Alexandria, and doesn't (yet) have an obvious home elsewhere.
May I ask you guys to pick another name? :-) I just recently more or less released my own BABEL package that is completely unrelated to Alexandria or utilities: http://common-lisp.net/~loliveira/soc07/
Also, may I ask what the consensus (if any) is regarding the idea of defining multiple packages for different sorts of utilities? For example: utilities for macro-writing, sequence utilities (strings, lists, vectors), functional programming utilities, numeric utilities, etc.
