Actually, it was pointed more to the way things are getting covered up as dists move towards the black box approach. Not that easier isn't better in many/most cases, but it strikes me that an easy to follow trail back to the root of many black box items could be put into the box itself. E.g. in the "about" part of any help system: "This program modifies the foo files found in bar directory..." I _was_ too snippy sounding toward the OP in my response (which came later last night)--my apologies to him.
