/hogs reminds me of the earlier (mid Eighties) /nightowl and nightowl group. Davie Curry and others were taking up precious disk space on utilities of dubious necessity. One example was dog, a version of cat that displayed the file to screen using curses to randomly paint the letters in the correct location. Students found them, and began hogging too much cpu cycles using them, so George migrated them to /nightowl, and only members of nightowl group could execute.
