A moderately evil thought:

   Opinions about distributions need to be dated, associated with
   version numbers, and have the identity of the holder of the opinion
   clearly disclosed.

And I'd certainly go along with the notion of _not_ building any
"huge tables of values;" down _that_ road lies a morass of verification
work that is liable to get obsolete any time _any_ distribution maker
comes out with a new version.

Change is inevitable, except from a vending machine.
