Yup, and pretty sure Mailman's was first. There's a reason why
namespaces were invented.
Heh. You made me look. No, contrary to the popular belief LiGNUx did not
invent the world, nor did mailman invent "arch". Sunos had it since
forever, but it appears nobody else did. Somehow it made its way into
linux and apparently everyone's been trying to get rid of it ever since.
Including sunos.
