So I guess the first thing we urgently need is an evaluation document which
describes commons and differences between packages solving certain tasks.
This might perhaps decrease the sort of flame wars emacs vis vi,
mutt vis pine, postgresql vis mysql or whatever. Just search the archive
for this type of flame wars, remove the rubish and find a reasonable way
to publish.
