Just curious: Was this a legal or political requirement?

I'm not sure, high energy physics on the other side of the street from

get this package via the next SuSE or Solaris update on their office
machines. They are in the profession of doing rather cruel things to
atomic nuclei and design and run facilities to do so.

I'm very much looking forward to seeing it.
