    Any particular reason you have Quoted Printable on?

    No.  I dislike bash and don't use it.

    And neither you or I can answer that question.  I have found out what the
problem with this thread is.  Most people are taking it as a religious
affront.  Look, use whatever slings your dingy, alright?  But let's keep a
few things grounded in fact.

1: SLP is beta, as is the rest of Stampede.  How fun was DEB in its infancy. 
IIRC DEB was not always an ar archive of tars.

2: What I am talking about is the ideal that SLP presents, not the technical
nitty gritty.  Take that elsewhere.  If you want to argue technical nitty
gritty let's remember that I am on the Debian mailing list because, guess
what, I *RUN* Debian.  I guess that means, at the core of it, on the day to
day operations, I must agree with the format, huh?

3: No one should ever get so religious about any topic that they are
automatically closed to new ideas and ideals.  No one.
