It is easier said than done. I am sure that if we would have the chance to
start all over this whole deal there will be a lot of things that will be
handled difefrently. But this is not quite possible, so we are pretty much
stuck with whatever decisions we have made in the past.

We want to be more in line with other unices but we are counting every
Linux distribution out of the standard. It is not a trivial move, and we
have now a *Linux* file system standard that is trying to walk away from
the long established *Linux* standards. Kind of odd...
