*OTOH*

SMP - is probably still the safest and best-understood,
       even if nearly always incorrect, technically.

HMP - If nutcases attack FreeBSD's D. Mon for 'Devil Worship',
DragonFly HMP'ing could get us branded pre-verts and incarcerated in HMP.

DMP - Heavily used, (quite aside from 'dump', with connotations similar 
to the Farsi usage of 'go')


Ah, well... 'twas just a thought...
