Once again, is it really the case that the GNU project routinely
prepares Redhat Linux and Suse Linux RPM's (note I somewhat deliberately
am using Linux rather than GNU/Linux in this sentence, since I am quoting
the names of commercial products, and these companies do not use the
term GNU/Linux). We certainly have not seen this as a main priority.
We do see it as a priority to provide standard easily installable
binary releases for GNU/Linux.
