I don't think you are grasping one somewhat important thing; Just
because the FSSTND of the week says that things should go in one
place or another (usually a different place from last weeks FSSTND
of the week) doesn't mean that every system and distribution on the
planet will automagically march along like good little Microsofties
and reorder themself into the approved heirarchy.

I've tried to tweak the headers so followups go off the damned list,
because this is so off-topic that it's not even funny.
