they don't piss us off. we have large differences (/usr vs /opt,
using system specialities like our init.d management, our menu system
and many more), and instead of flaming each other, we agreed, that we
have these differences, that there is no way left to get the other on
our side, and that two versions will satisfy everyone, and give the user
the choice.
why is this bad ?
