I think they meant the horse-like things on the casino planet.

I recently needed to build newer versions of some packages for Debian. Now, they're go based so the official packaging is super complicated and eventually I decided to try and make my own from scratch.

And sure enough, after a bit of searching I found makedeb which allows you to make debs from (almost) regular PKGFILEs. Made the task a million times simpler.

Gnome 3 implemented 4 as a core feature and got so much flack from users for it. So they made it trigger less and less until they effectively removed it. I still see it happen, but very rarely.

Don't forget GenX, they cut their teeth on DOS and other such horrors.
