The only reason that I care is that when there is hew and cry over a
massively destructive virus, I can point at my virus statistics and say
"oh, our AV calls CME-24 'worm.vb9' - we've been blocking it for weeks."
Then I don't have to worry about what name another group might give it,
and the PHB's will leave me alone for a little while longer.
