standardize things so admins won't have a hard time
finding configurations and stuff( ie an old admin
resigned, the new one wont have a hard time ). it's
like why he put qmail in /var (his reasons here are
very sound and acceptable)
but this setups can be overriden :) you could put the
files anywhere you want

his philosophy is very sound and it is back up with an
enourmous ego (tm) ( his philophy is based on facts
and facts isn't that what it should be? )
but i don't agree that he bash those who competes with
his software (i.e. like maradns he has a link for this
dns software in cr.yp.to)
he just points out the mistake (bugs) of other
softwares thats all which other seems to take it
personally
