...not my wish :) We, humans are all different yet similiar. One and
only one environment for us all is a no-go.... Some like cool weather
while some others like it hot. Some like FR cars, some like FF. Some
like CLI, some like GUI..and so on.. As I see it, a 'standard' really is
just a general guideline one shall not ignore or drive away from. I'd
say they (developers) should standardize Linux's CONTENT not the
CONTAINER.

 'Standards' as 'wireframes'?
