yeah, yeah I know. It doesn't give license to pervert "correct behavior" 
though. :)

Most distros differ in their default packages and configurations for server and desktop editions, so "correct behaviour" may also differ.

Cygwin tends to go along with Fedora desktop decisions: some features are disabled in some packages because FESCo does not agree with some packaging decisions or component sources.

I know some of this because I went looking to see if certain packages were available and/or provided by default on some distro server and desktop editions, and found that most of those decisions and that information is not really documented in any obvious place, just implemented, so you would have to install and run the editions to find out!
