Yes, the insta-MFC is also not appropriate, esp. for something that you know
is going to raise eyebrows when it is committed.  Having to debate this sort
of thing in public on mailing lists is also distinctly unhelpful and very
distracting from productive work.  Also, I'd like to preemptively ask
developers to refrain from any further commits to the fortunes datfiles for
the time being as the last thing we need is a commit war over this sort of
thing.
