Secondly, that's one of the main arguments to introduce said changes. The argument was (not that it wasn't written out often enough) that derivatives provide something we don't: more current software; some as rolling releases, some on scheduled releases etc. The idea is, if we provide something similar, not the same of course, users who care for such come to us. It's as simple as that. Hauke -- .''`.
