Just "Garbage In, Garbage Out", right?
"You might like to refer to the Microsoft Windows Vista package page, to
the Package Tracking System, or to the source package Microsoft Windows
Vista's bug page."
Web text like that vexes users; on this page:

...you've cited some annoying web interfaces of airlines. It's
like that. For high level interfaces like web pages, many users
prefer those that don't print garbage, if that can feasibly be
avoided.

package or pseudo package it belongs.
PS: BTS browsers interested in what might be called "GIGO wars", may
appreciate:
