More correctly, those were the 55 that were discovered by what ever
happened to be in /usr/dist. I don't think that is sufficient coverage.
However, I also know we can't possibly get enough coverage to be
100% sure.
Which leaves me to the initial view of "Yea, I know its ugly, but is
this worth taking chances for"? Is the benefit enough?
I need to think about this. I hope other express their views... in few
words. I think all of us are well aware of the history (and the bugs).
