To be fair, I wrote this up on my blog because I really enjoyed this
little piece of history, and put it on lobste.rs, expecting the usual
20 regulars to like it. I did not expect the story to take off like

(I also declined interview questions from The Register and Ars
Technica, because I don't have anything to add there and did not even
find the end result.)
