Well I'm equally sure that 2.5.75.11 or whatever it was will allow some 
people to do some new stuff.  Otherwise it wouldn't be an update.

Just because most people don't know the details about gonads work with rear 
end recursion, and you (and I) don't know the details about the 
2.75.11.5.157 linux update, it doesn't mean it's not useful at all.

What, just because you are doing something that not many others are 
interested in?  I'm not interested in the details of what you are doing with 
Haskell, but once I understood what your logic program was doing (or rather, 
what it is easily capable of doing) I was quite impressed.
