Well, Unix tradition, you understand :) I won't argue on the compared
maintainability between what Cherokee now does and the traditional
Unix way. I do know that some people I have talked with have turned
away (or not even considered switching) due to this policy. But,
please, feel free to ignore my comment. There are multiple points of
view for each design decision, and by far, I'm not the one taking
them.

Much better worded IMHO. Explains better the situation.
