Hi, Frank,
	I am new to Fedora (about 1 year now), but I understand some of the
problem, but perhaps you should elucidate for the new users or
uninitiated folks about the results that can occur from these options
and also when it is reasonable to use one of them.  There are reasons on
both sides I am sure, but I don't yet know all the "ins and outs" of the
process, so don't feel competent to advise any one on this issue.

Thanks,
Les H
