Should be interesting to see what Ubuntu does with their "pseudo"
enterprise releases. Debian without the attitude, and supposedly
guaranteed updates over a longer period.

Yeah, but most companies of more than a few employees line up to pay
the big bucks to get proprietary Linux and apps, so go figure. Tis
better to pay through the nose for service contracts for that one time
in 20 years where you might actually need service from the vendor. So
thinketh the CIOs and bean counters and lawyers anyway.

      the code as cleverly as possible, you are, by definition, not
      smart enough to debug it.
