Amen. Please take note: change nothing unless you are forced to. That's the main argument against devfs (which I have nothing against as an innovation, and everything against as am inevitable source of pointless misery for application maintainers when what we have _works_. Ditto non-exec stack.).

Well, I run them on laptops, but I sure can log into a couple of "real" servers right now happily running 1.2.13.
Connected to [xyz.uvw.abc.ac.uk] Escape character is '^]'. Linux 1.2.13. erasmus:~> uptime 6:06pm up 65 days, 5:20, 3 users, load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00
I set that one up about three years ago. It seems to be happy.
