Only if you disregard the last sentence of Raphael: "our menu system"
is definitely not going to be a standard (outside debian), is it?
(In fact, only this last sentence is an argument, the other one is a

If there are no technical differences between two solutions but one is
standard in many places (or going to be standard) and the other is
just known at home, which one is the best?
