Lisp machines which initially boot with non-standard
bands (like Daedalus) cause problems: half the time I
forget this is the case until something fucks up, and it
would certainly confuse a naive user who didn't know
about bands, packages, etc. I think LM's should always
start out with standard systems. The right thing is
to have users' init files say what system they'd like
to start out with and have the init file load the right
band if necessary, or whatever.
