	I completely understand that it's not brand new.  I believe I 
mentioned this in one of my (many) previous emails on the subject.

	If I'm making it sound like I think everything I bring up is easy, I 
apologize.  I know decisions can be difficult and some things can carry 
a large impact, but that doesn't mean they shouldn't be considered.

	My assumption is that the number of current arch users and installed 
archives will seem insignificant compared to how many there will be 
when people figure out what you've done.
