Most of the values (above 99%) were the same actually between the 2 lists. I think the point was to avoid churn in the description fields because a lot of the description fields were different, the Linux list was produced by questionable sources (IIRC the other list was produced by vendors, but I could be wrong). Rather than guessing I would just ask Brookes and Warner directly though, offlist... Cheers, -Garrett
