Wow. The seemingly innocent word 'should' is in fact the first step to the
Inquisition. What an opinion. What a place! Who knew the Debian-users list was
a den populated by people who overreact to 'should', as if it's the Great
Satan or something.
I understand that everyone's rallying against the outsider here, but really
guys? 'Should'?

Not really. Both are actions I would engage in, and would like others to do the
same. I never thought the word 'should' was such a big issue.
