Sad. This is yet another of those politically-charged distinctions
that, quite frankly, I have no interest in. Just look at cdrtools vs
wodim, or Ruby 1.9.1 vs Ruby whatever-the-other-is, or for that matter
(switching genres a bit) Caucasian vs {Aboriginal, Native American,
dark skinned, etc, etc, etc}. I can't be bothered figuring out the
differences between them all, and it's disappointing that the
difference has to matter to someone.
