Thanks - that certainly explains why the change was made, even if I 
don't necessarily agree with changing the commonly accepted output of a 
common UNIX/Linux command. I don't see any other distro's doing this.

Although I guess at this point the decision has been made, or rather was 
made in Fedora 2 years ago.

Thanks.
