No. Leave it alone.

Firstly, this is entirely too late in the process to start pissing
around changing stuff unnecessarily. Secondly, LIST is _exactly_
the right place to put any infrequently-used command which returns
a simple line-oriented result. Putting them all together in one
place actually makes life simpler, compared to adding a bunch of
random cruft as new top-level commands.
