On Linux/GNU, there are a couple more candidates for an
exclude-list:

groups        is in the shadow package too
id            is in the shadow package too
su            is in the shadow package too
kill          is in the procps package too
uptime        is in the procps package too
hostname      is in the net-tools package too

There may well be more for which a system administrator
might prefer another package.
