Because it's a needed maintenance tool. There isn't any particularly
good reason for it to get installed as though it were an interesting
program for users, though, so I think that this is mostly a matter of
poor packaging choices. I am in fact intending to remove the
contrib/findoidjoins files from the set of stuff installed by Red Hat's
RPMs.
I suppose you could make an argument for moving this directory out of
contrib and putting it under src/tools instead, but that seems like more
work (and loss of CVS history) than it's worth.
regards, tom lane
