I agree with Henrik that guiding people using such conventions can be useful, even if they don't actually _prevent_ anything. Lots of system conventions that we follow were developed initially by companies, or by one company. It would be foolish for us to reject conventions and compatibility just for that! -- Dr Richard Stallman (https://stallman.org) Chief GNUisance of the GNU Project (https://gnu.org) Founder, Free Software Foundation (https://fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (https://internethalloffame.org)
