Unlike Lennart, I'm not purporting to solve everyone's problems, nor
shoving my preferences onto anyone by any means whatsoever.

I happen to _use_ straightforward systems, hence I find (what I
consider) straightforward software solutions to my personal liking and
am willing to do a modest amount of extra local work to use them.  You
seem to have decided that this is A Bad Thing and wish me to feel regret
via an extremely contrived poetteringisation analogy.  I'l decline the
opportunity to feel regret, at this dramatic juncture in our narrative,
but I do appreciate the offer.  Some other time, perhaps.

Sucks to be them.  ;->

Oh, you wish to launch a _new_ discussion about what to 'standardize
on'?  By all means, please feel free.  I don't have any special interest
in that at this time, but go right ahead.  I'll merely note, before you
do, that I was extremely clear that I was _not_ talking about that.
