Before you dismiss Devin's case as "corner case" I will point out to 
you that:
1/your pay checks are probably just one  or two steps removed from his 
system, (almost anywhere in the world)
2/ that he is handling both FreeBSD packages AND Redhat  packages , 
and that
3/ The last time I looked his systems were handling an amount of money 
per year that had 12 '0' s in it. It's probably way bigger now.
