Well it's more than just tidy up the list, as not adding identical
machines would have saved maintenance of adding these, lines of code in
code base that do nothing just making it harder to read and also would be
easier for users but these benefits are maybe less than the effort to
change it now so then it's too late (not because how long it's been done
this way but how much effort would be to change for how much benefit). I'm
OK with that, was just wondering so asked it to clarify.
