Please define "people". I don't consider myself included, and I know
many who wouldn't either. I'm *tired* of reading the assumptions that
Debian users should be considered dumb ass with zero knowledge by
default, when I have the strong feeling it's quite the opposite. So please
do not make such generalities and assumptions without any check. Did
you actually do a poll to check if they were expecting that? What
numbers to you have to back it up?

Also, if "people" don't know, why can't they learn?
