linux registry (no, not that again!)

[Harry Hoffman]

Remco,
Ok, you caught me... I didn't fully read it. Now that I have, you're 
right I am being a bit harsh :-)

And yes, "registry" does indeed bring forth certain prejudices. I recon 
this is somewhat akin to reaching a Common Log Format, a good aim but 
something which needs a good bit of debate and agreement.


Cheers,
Harry
