Kevin,

I slept on this and the original email and apologize. You are correct in
multiple ways and I was wrong in multiple ways.

1. I was 'math-splaining' boolean math to a Mathematician and English to
some one who while not a native speaker probably know the language better
than I do.
2. I did weasel around the 'real' question you wanted answer. I saw the
original question as the type to start a knife fight and not anything else.
I wanted to stop that and choose a bad way to do so.
3. I was trying to avoid the 'elephant' in the room that the FAQ question
steps up to but doesn't answer. Instead I further enabled the 'problem' in
the original question. After spending two months of fighting over Red Hat's
'ownership of resources' in the CentOS community, I was trying to make it
go away here.

In all of those cases, I am sorry and should have found a better way to
answer you.
