I can't locate the message just now. But Marco put the recommendations
back in because it was being used by some people. He announced
somewhere that he was doing that and why. I requested it because it
was an important part of the demo pitch I was planning to do at a big
Intel meeting. I kinda recall that some core developers needed it too.

Don't know why there's a difference between openSUSE (which I'm
running, but not the Balsam image) and the MeeGo image.
