Nobody seems to know. It's such an obvious solution to a really annoying
problem that I can only assume they either refuse to uinderstand there *is*
a problem or they don't appreciate how annopying it can be. Pity they didn't
write Anaconda (their maintenance utility) in Perl, then we wouldn't have
had to suufer the results of their success :-)
