Gee! What a nice time recovery would be to find out who's to give a hand if
everything goes berserk once again! (By "berserk", I mean, for instance, being
told that GUS Brazil updates are to be trusted in a message whose signature
doesn't check.)

So, if you're right, there will be no change ever whatsoever. If the Little
Man doesn't get help while he's still recovering, why should he do otherwise
if he ever recovers? To the end, it's going to be The Little Man at the helm,
and too bad if the pilot is dead, let's just pretend there is a distro.

The new song is «Trouble behind, trouble ahead, what the fuck if The Man can't
get out of his bed». Yes, indeed, some nerds will still use Slackware for some
time as some kind of crutch to help them maintain their own distro but, for
beginners, companies and institutions alike, it's just dead 'n done. Slackware
is just not what it was meant to be anymore.

Sad. Really sad.
