Dear Roger,

I wholehartedly thank you for your post. It has shown clearly how
little most of us (and I put myself in the lot) know about the whole
history and functioning of the stuff we use everyday.

This is exactly the kind of technical depth I was asking for in this
list a couple of days ago, and I am happy it eventually came from you.
My "research" in this direction (reviewing early-boot code and
changelogs and delving through several mailing lists) had not gotten
any close to the amount of information, context, knowledge and
motivations you provided in a single email.

I guess anybody willing to add even a comment to this thread must be
sure to have read, digested, understood, and internalised all the
content in Roger's email first.

And please do not forget his gentle but strong nudge regarding being
nice to other people, also and especially when you disagree with them.

ThankYou

KatolaZ
