That is ok for me ;) (Note I didn't contributed by giving my own setup
which is quite "funny" at that time)

Good idea. I more or less was thinking of organizing the "maybe future

more we can elaborate on but my guess is, only users can tell what is
their own situation and how they setup things accordingly to their
specific organization.
