This is an openish letter to HP.

Thanks for including the HP-only server objects on the X11R4 distribution.  I
much prefer that solution to Sun's, which failed to supply a tuned
server at all.  If there are bug fixes, I hope you will put them on expo and
friends.

I have, on occasion, criticized HP for remaining oblivious to common source,
object, and patch distribution mechanisms.  So I want to make sure HP hears
this thank you loud and clear:  THANKS A LOT!  Your decision was a good
compromise between support and security.
