| The second allows future changes. The first does not. Where does the |

The former relies upon existing, widely used functionality together |
| 15 |
with a well-defined path. The latter has some magic hard-coded name |
| 16 |
voodoo (what's a 'gentoo'?) and is still stuck only supporting a single |
| 17 |
location. |
