    Yeeeek. Gentlemen, I consider that as a proof that the whole idea is
    bogus. Dual-universe systems were the horrible source of ugliness. If
    that's the cost of including something into Linux - too bad. If _that_
    (dual-universe) will go into the ftp.kernel.org tree (I suspect that
    nothing short of serious doze of really nasty drugs forcibly administered
    to Linus will do that) - well, the tree free from that bogosity will be
    available for download within an hour from that sad event. I'll take care
    about that.
