So you don't think people that work with computers on that level are capable of deciding that for themselves? > Maybe _I_ ought to put it off to the side when it > comes to replying > to full-time critics... Maybe you ought to. I was answering a direct question that waynel asked me, clarifying WHY and HOW, so it's not like this was directed or has anything to do with you. However, I do believe that people need to be made senitive and aware of what it means to deliver a high quality product. And high quality product excludes hacking and messing with /usr, unless you're a distro maintainer. There's a lot of ad-hoc making the rounds these days, just because that was the way "it was always done". If we don't make people sensitive to that, the trend will continue. If you'd like to hack your system, by all means. I'd like to have software that works for everyone, every time, without having to hack anything. Quality over quantity.
