Since UDI isn't set in stone - perhaps its time various cluefull
people look at it and make sane suggestions, otherwise we'll be stuck
with whatever Sun/SCO/whoever think is right.

Also, since Linux probably has more machine deployed that the other
unix-like OSs out there, we perhaps have some leverage on making this
work `our way'. (Hey, it works for M$, can't hurt to try....)

In theory, Linux could drive the way UDI works and looks, assuming
the other members aren't hostile towards Linux.
