I don't consider this overly negative, but I am curious what the build
patterns are.

Anyway, I really don't care one way or another, I just think that at
this point, without more user feedback, and comments, I don't see one
way as more standard than the other. It is like saying that potato chips
are better than ham.

(If you've been following the Jakarta commons/general lists, I would
point out this is like a "bike shed" problem.)

Once we have a config file, this all becomes moot.
