Oh, I know. But if the decision to depreciate <sysinfo> ever occurs,  
it would be good to know that there is a good/better alternative for it.

I think everyone agrees that a Mapper-like task would be a good fix  
for it. But it will probably have to wait 1.0.  Dominik proposed a  
good temporary workaround in the meantim for TC.
