Note that experimtal changes are extremely important and that I think we're not doing enough of the experimenting bits (and this is pretty hard to do for a wide audience because experiments are bound to fail in some cases) >So much of this reminds me of all the BSD-SVR4 religion of 20 years ago. > SunOS changed then to build something better, and my view is that's to >a fair extent similar to what we're doing with Indiana.

Which is why change for change sake is wrong and thorough analysis is needed to determine what changes are really needed. And the best way to get into religious wars is to make changes to certain defaults which some people like and some do not. Existing users will often just use their existing config files and perhaps see no changes, but changing defaults may also break their environment and this is a fine line. I want to be all inclusive: but specifically include old users AND newcomers. To add to the religious wars :-) "No colorls, please!"
