18 How many of those are part of the system set or get installed
19 automatically on one's system without any intervention? Furthermore, how
20 many of them are or will be programmed to send data automatically,

22 The point I was addressing is the suggestion that the above should be
23 possible and the idea that any single developer is "entitled" to do so.
