This is qualitatively no different than an exchange like: "Why <FRAME>s?"
"Because they're there".
One would think that on a developer list, there would be a greater than
usual willingness to consider *developing* alternatives, rather than
merely finding satisfaction on the basis of what already exists, thanks to
having caught the fancy of developers who came before.
It really seems that Afs do *not* have to be rediscovered. They have to
be reinvented. Leading edge and all that.
