 That is one definition.
 
 Another is that the users can identify exactly which code they are
 using, and for that the central id is perfect, because it also
 incorporates the exact versions of the libraries used, which you'll
 never get by just running ident(1) on the binary in the current world.
 
 I prefer this feature.
