Maybe you need to look up 'facile' in your dictionary.

I suggest you refer to

Maybe you've never experienced a a set of hererogeneous networks
consisting of many hundreds of uniquely-administered linux machines
which you might use once in a year, or once in your life, but I have[1],
and even with handy hacks like
http://cvs.kitenet.net/joey-cvs/home/.zshenv, one can waste far too much
time getting a usable setup on each. Far better if they were usable by
default.

So you think that the best result we can expect from Debian GNU/Linux
is a pile of hacks and kludges?
