Quite frankly, I recall when this was originally discussed, and I really
didn't understand the use case for it -- if it makes sense to use it for
SlugOS, I'd be happy to do so.

On a somewhat tangential note, I am responsible for a *distro*, but I'm
not sure that I'm responsible for any *machines* -- so perhaps this is
not my decision to make WRT to SlugOS?  Am I missing something?
