I think de4x5 should be a driver of last resort. Tulip should always
be preferred to drive a given piece of hardware. I wouldn't shed any
tears if we stopped shipping de4x5 by default -- it's caused no end of
problems on parisc and ia64.

to examine any refutations of them; and thus he will by and by convince
himself that the war is just, and will thank God for the better sleep
he enjoys after this process of grotesque self-deception." -- Mark Twain
