What I am beginning to understand from comments like this is that there is
a "club entitlement."  Everything ever done by the members of "club
entitlement"
is correct, period.  No matter what preconceptions, bad habits, or horrible
misfeatures exist, they are correct and we will find some way of implementing
"club entitlement."  Anyone can join "club entitlement" if you assume you
cannot be wrong.  The main purpose of operating systems (with no
exceptions) is to
port gnu software.  Messing with the premise of "club entitlement" is
significantly whined about on tumblr.

Just a newbie's (with six hundred years experience) perception.
