I didn't mean anything, I was asking a question. (And it wasn't as
rhetorical as you seemed to think.)
Your point is taken that, in the absence of a standard location for
the entry point, the implementation quality is uniformly low, namely
non-existent.
If it is present, implementation quality may vary wildly (as does the
implementation quality of just about any program mentioned, in, say
POSIX), but administrators (and even users) can at least choose, if
they care, and not think about it if they don't.
