Ah, so you're now switching tactics, dropping the vague appeals to
theory, and falling back on procedure?

Ah, so you're speaking for an invisible "silent majority", so to speak.

You know, Steve, I kind of liked your earlier assertion of evolutionary 
advantages to new licences, and am still looking forward to your
adducing examples of them.  Too bad that requires _work_ on your part,
when gratuitously complaining about other people is undoubtedly a great
deal easier.
